i am not sure whether this is your problem or not, but...
the supplied sendmail.cf files supplied with ultrix 1.2 have extremely poor
support for decnet (which is what you appear to be using)
i have "fixed" this problem here, but it invloves a whole new sendmail.cf
you probably don't want that.
what i do is transform :: to ! and treat as uucp.
when it goes to the mail11 mailer it is transformed back to ::
let me know if you want my sendmail.cf
