I think it's a warning from sendmail because his mail client (running
under his own uid) invoked sendmail in SMTP mode to submit the message.
In the general scheme of things you'd not expect that to happen (and
you'd probably not want it to happen without it being traceable) as it
can be abused, but if you're in control of the machine and know that
can't happen then it's really no big deal.
