>Description:
The newsyslog.conf entry for /var/log/sendmail.st should use the 'N' flag. The only process that writes to /var/log/sendmail.st is sendmail itself, and it doesn't hold the file open: it just opens it as needed in the poststats() function.

In particular, syslogd shouldn't receive SIGHUP when sendmail.st is rotated.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Add the 'N' flag to the sendmail.st entry in newsyslog.conf, as in the patch below.
