Makes no sense to me. Maybe you could check whether this happens when other
mail servers send you an email (ie: is it a consistent thing with your mail
server), or even whether it happens *every* time this particular mail server
talks to you, or only sometimes?
I can't suggest why it might be happening, but I'd suggest turn on sendmail
debugging/verbose logging in order to see what it thinks is really going on.
I think it's an application-layer thing rather than a kernel/networking
thing, but that's a guess.
