Your sendmail doesn't for some reason recognize itself and tries to get a network connection to itself. This results in a correct error message.

There's something wrong in your sendmail configuration. Our sendmail (5.61 with IDA 1.2.8 or something) always adds the full domain name to all local addresses. The earlier version didn't do that, but it did handle addresses like kim@kannel perfectly anyway. Kim -- ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ( Kimmo Suominen !
