In a prviooous thread you suggested that we use 
define(`confDONT_PROBE_INTERFACES',`True')dnl.  When that line didn't 
produce any positive results we removed it.  Just before generating 
this reply we ran a few more test after removing the only entry 
"guice.ath.cx" from 'local-host-names'.

This is a clean install of FreeBSD and packages.  No *configuration* 
files were merged in any way; /root, /usr/home/* and /var/mail/* were 
restored from a previous install.

It is going to be very interesting to see what is causing this issue.

#
# Sendmail continues to use 'Mailer(local)'
# local-host-names is an empty file
# We have tried both using and removing the following line from 
'hostname,mc'
# define(`confDONT_PROBE_INTERFACES',`True')dnl

## These are the active lines in my 'hostname.mc'
