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.
