hmm, are you on AMD64 ?
I have 3 boxes running Feisty, 2 are running Feisty i386, 1 is Feisty amd64. I have this issue only on the later.

I also have an issue (on that amd64) with the NetworkManager applet. It always says the link (eth0) is disabled, while it's not and I've noticed during an upgrade (during the late beta phase of feisty) that sendmail was updated while the network was shut (too bad I don't remember which package shutted the network) which is probably the reason why debian/local/dynamic failed.

I also had an issue with slow (remote) syslog caused by Avahi trying to do lookups for IP addresses without reverse DNS. That's my 2nd possible culprit for this sendmail mess. I've removed Avahi since (as it's useless for me) and I monitor sendmail expecting the ";;" error to come back.

Last issue, my amd64 box has been blacklisted in some RBL just because it was emitting emails with this obviously bad HELO/EHLO header. Fixed now but that caused me a lot of troubles.
