Not enough information to know if you have a problem.

Have a look at the real log that logwatch analyzed. Maybe it is
/var/log/maillog or /var/log/mail.log or similar. (See /var/log/mail* and
also "grep mail /etc/syslog.conf".)

What do your logs show you about the outgoing mails? What generated them
and/or who are the senders?

I wrote a sendmail log analyzer. It might be useful for you.
