Do you have an open relay? 
(Sorry, I don't use senmail, so I don't know the relay settings in the
sentmail config off the top of my head)

Are there exploits for your version of telnetd? I haven't heard of any
exploits for telnetd recently (Other than tcpdump) Look at you wtmp logs
last -f /var/log/wtmp.1 etc.. for around the time of the telnet login to
see who logged in, and where from.

Thats a start anyway.
