Without digging into whose who in the below logs,
I can only guess. Anyway, it seems that you either 
received emails targeted at your server or someone
used your mail server as a relay.

There isn't much you can do to protect yourself against 
spam, beyond filtering and blocking abusive IPs.

You can limit access to your mail server, so it can't
be used to relay emails. You should look into the 
docs for the version of sendmail you have, and 
block relaying. If you don't have the docs, look into
/etc/sendmail.cf and see which files specify allowed
relays. They vary based on the sendmail distribution. 
E.g. /etc/sendmail.cR, or /etc/mail/ip_allow, name_allow
