Are you using NetworkManager? If so, that's probably the cause. I had
the same problem with internal mail. Sendmail was being started before
a network was up, and never takes into account an interface that came to
life later on.
There were two easy solutions: Avoid using NetworkManager, or have it
restart the sendmail service after an interface comes on-line with a
dispatcher script.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I
read messages from the public lists.
