Are you sure you don't have some cron job running or something
that is cranking out NEW messages?
What are the nature of the messages?
ie Is is a regular mail message that you (someone) is trying to
send to someone, and fails?
Or more like the status of something that ran/failed.
Just by default, you can plan on root to get a status report
mailed to it once or twice a day. And if you have other things
setup, more. And lots of process that don't a tty associated
with it, will get the output mailed to the user or root.
cron is a good example of this.
More details.

And if these are empty, then more than likely it's not being resent,
but new mail each time.
Any clues in /var/mail/maillog* ?

Probably won't help.
Sure seems like sendmail IS working.
