Perhaps you have some feature in sendmail enabled to check validity of recipient addresses IN MAIL HEADER, or trying to rewrite/sanitize/masquerade recipients in header. Such checks, coupled perhaps with a slow DNS, might manifest in terribly slow processing of a mail header. Just a wild guess. Looks like you need to turn on debugging in sendmail (or perhaps use strace on it). Luckily the problem can be reproduced.
