I think this is a FAQ: you need to give your sendmail host machine a
fully qualified domain name. Otherwise it waits for DNS timeout.
I'm doing this from memory so caveat emptor:
add and entry in your /etc/hosts file like
10.0.0.1 myhostname.mycompletely_bogus_domain
You will also want to modify /etc/sysconfig/network so that your hostname
is assigned properly on bootup.
FWIW this works for me but I'm not sure it is canonical. However, if your
machine is called localhost.localdomain (as it usually is after installing
RH) and you have an entry like:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
in your /etc/hosts file, this should not happen.
Probably not the only or even the best fix. You can certainly find lots
of people with the same question (and answers) on the web.
