You can gain a lot of information from /var/log/maillog, sendmail's
primary log file. There are also programs that can process this file,
for example SendmailAnalyzer; documentation here:

	http://sareport.darold.net/config.html

Also check the sendmail documentation on how to set the desired level
of logging using the config option

	define(`confLOG_Level', `<level>')

Local documentation at /usr/share/sendmail/cf/README could help as well.
Also check chapter 27 of The FreeBSD Handbook:

	https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/mail.html

This chapter covers mail.
