In my previous messages, I mentioned the reason for the issue.  I 
assumed that you were following the steps and the results you 
produced were based on that.  I already mentioned that the domain 
should not be listed in local-host-names if you are using the 
instructions at http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sendmail

If guice.ath.cx is listed in /etc/hosts, remove it from there and 
restart sendmail to test.
