I've seen this on a customer's server before.

did snort report any outgoing irc traffic?

Close down Sendmail and kill all existing sendmail sessions.

do a "netstat -an" and see what ports and sessions are currently active.
chances are, port 6667 (Irc) is running, and probably got in via an  
insecure user password.
