confDONT_PROBE_INTERFACES  DontProbeInterfaces
                                        [False] If set, sendmail will _not_
                                        insert the names and addresses of any
                                        local interfaces into class {w}
                                        (list of known "equivalent" addresses).
                                        If you set this, you must also include
                                        some support for these addresses (e.g.,
                                        in a mailertable entry) -- otherwise,
                                        mail to addresses in this list will
                                        bounce with a configuration error.
                                        If set to "loopback" (without
                                        quotes), sendmail will skip
                                        loopback interfaces (e.g., "lo0").

In the general case it is more important though, i.e.  where you
actually want to handle mail addressed to "additional" IP addresses, or
more importantly their corresponding names (sendmail's lookup for which
was what caused your problem), you need to arrange it "manually" since
you've turned off sendmail's automatic adding of them to class w.
