sendmail problems

I am having problems with sendmail under Interactive's 386/ix 2.0.2.  As well
as receiving incoming mail it also appears to be attempting to SEND it.  It 
also seems to think the mail is being sent by the recipient. Below
are the results of mailing a test message from bfls at cain (a Sun workstation)
to mike at boopsie (the misbehaving 386 box). 

The recipient gets the first two messages below and the sender gets the third.
We are using sendmail 2.2 (dated 6-30-87).  Is there a more recent version or
are there patches to this version?  I don't think this weird behaviour is due
to an error in my sendmail.cf file as I use the same one on two Sun 
workstations on the same network without any problems.  

Any help with this problem will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
