Are you using IPv6 for anything at all, or have a bad entry for sT in your /etc/hosts file?

IPv6
There is a IPv6 tunnel on the machine, "sT" is just a example, there is always a full domain name in the place of it.
Now, thats your brought the IPv6, i think i understand why there is a message like that. Which now is very obvious .
Thank You, for your help.

IPv6 is supported by recent versions of OpenSSH. It seems that you're using an out of data client, or server, or both.
