clearly sendmail is running, but not as a daemon.
It gets called for every single mail by some other process running as root.
You suspect squid to do so? (unlikely, why should a webcache send emails...)
Well, then run squid as another user and watch the logs, should
be "from=squiduser" then...

The problem with too much root- processes is, you can't tell which one is going 
mad.

enjoy,
