    More than likely, it's evidence of the Sobig.B (aka Palyh or Mankx) worm
    entering your mail system -- search your mail log for the spool id
    (h40Cg7Da003834) and see if the from address is supportat_private 
    
    Starting with 8.12.8, I believe, sendmail now creates such log entries
    in an attempt to prevent MUA overflows wrt MIME headers.  This worm
    apparently has a Content-Disposition header that is too big and hence
    is shortened by your sendmail daemon.
