I have enabled the feature in sendmail.mc to check with spamhaus for

like to know is something can be done to obtain statistics of blocked
attemps.

What's the Sendmail feature called? And does it generate specific log
entries in /var/log/maillog? Could you provide a couple of sample log
lines?

It should be relatively easy to either add another script or modify
the Sendmail script ( /etc/log.d/scripts/services/sendmail - be sure
to use revision control or keep a pristine copy) to Logwatch to parse
specific entries out of maillog and to include a breakdown of them in
your daily Logwatch mails. Or to knock up an additional item in
Cacti/Munin or just use MRTG/RRDTool directly, to generate graphical
representations.

Will.
