This was created locally via the "sendmail" command. What user account has "uid" 5005? If this is www-data or similar, you likely have an insecure PHP script that is being exploited to send spam. Just look for any other log-entries with the same message-id: kflvqedfdosxjjhkebewy...@sfilc.com but also do quickly run "getent passwd 5005" and report the results. -- Viktor.
