I have to agree here. A while back, I recall having a sendmail issue that made sendmail appear to take a while to load at bootup, and at other points of execution.
My issue was related to name reoslution. It came down to (in my case) that the system didn't have a fully qualified domain name. And it was fixed by adding one to /etc/hosts .
