Are you sure the _same_ processes have been opened?  I would assume
that they are simply starting over and over again, on each queue run
(the -q30m argument to the SMTP daemon process).

Blame home.gis.net, that seems to be the culprit.  Or, kill all
sendmail processes, remove all mails destined for home.gis.net from
the queue, and start it again.
