I think this might be annoying me nearly as much as it is you!
Let's try another tack..

I wonder what that character that my newsreader is displaying as Pipe
really is?
Maybe it's a Linefeed (Hex 0A) character?

IIRC MTAs use linefeeds to separate the various lines of email
headers.
So MAYBE you've actually got *NO* Hostname at all.
Sendmail expects there to be something in there, but there isn't - so
it b*ggers up the parsing?

I wonder if

relates at all?
