verify_user problem

I'm running Sendmail version 8.13.1, config V10/Berkeley on a CentOS 
Linux 4.3 server.  Today I noticed there were 7000 plus messages in the 
outbound queue.  They are the result of rejections of verifying user 
attempts.

Does anyone know if this is a new virus/worm or Trojan?
