Yeah I'm seeing this too!  Identical in fact.  This is what I did to
fix this:  I added this to my /etc/mail/access file for my local
server that sends this messages to me:

    SRV_Features:127.0.0.1  L U G

Specifically, I added the U and G features, (I already had the L
feature disabled for localhost).  Uppercase letter disables the
feature, lowercase enables it.

I found the U and G mentioned here:

https://forums.oracle.com/ords/apexds/post/solaris-11-4-sendmail-issue-after-sendmail-8-18-1-update-7312

I did not try this suggestion to use U2 and G2 that he mentioned.  If
you do let me know.
