sendmail has no concept of a user status - sendmail is simply a mail
transfer agent that accepts an smtp mail message and delivers it to a
mailbox.  sendmail does not interact with any user directly so it has no
way of knowing if a user is online or not or even if the user has never
read his email.

There are tools like awstats that will report on mail traffic.  It might
do what you're looking for.  Try a google search for something like
"maillog log analysis" and see what pops up.
