They told me that they were not doing active transfer of mail.  If
this is what is happening then I would tend to believe that they
got hacked.  

The fetching process I have observed is really a few seconds after
my connections has been made.  It behaves much like I had it set
with my ppp connection.  The way I had set it was that as soon I
had received the dynamic IPs from the ISP, fetchmail would be run
in demon mode and would fetch my mail every 10 minutes.  Upon
disconnection, the fecthmail process was getting killed.

I must say that I have some ignorance at this level :( That will
force me to understand a little more!

How can I increase the level of verbosity of sendmail so that I
have more information in my log files?

Thanks, 

Dominic.
