Not issued by sendmail or sensible-mda. Are you having other problems?
Have you rebooted since you started getting the message?

Sendmail hasn't changed in woody, so I doubt it is (directly) the
problem... I've not updated woody in a while, and I see a new
libc6, and more problematic, a new libdb2 *and* db3. But the fact that
the message gets sent make me think something else is amiss...
Try using the mailx package command `mail` to send a mail and see if
the problem also occurs there - if so send me the log showing the error
