Maybe it's time to start investigating other parts of the server to see if you have a hole.

Michael, Thanks
Nothing in front of the server
No local origin, but the header, body, sender and recipient are empty
/var/spool/mqueue/ and /var/spool/clientmqueue/ are both empty
I've restarted sendmail a few times, rebooted a few times, nothing fixes it.
Thanks
Tom
