Do the two that think they're 127.0.0.1 have proper host names that resolve
to a real IP address?

The algorithm that adds the IP address works like this:

1) If the Sendmail macro ${if_addr} is not 127.0.0.1, use that.

2) Otherwise, use whatever gethostbyname(gethostname()) returns as the
   machine's IP address.
