The system may need sendmail for internal stuff, not sure if disabling
it will brake other things.
Add all your hostnames and ip's to the host file then edit nsswitch.conf
to be

hosts:  files dns (what-else-you-need)

The system will then look up the hostnames in the host file and will not
try to do a dns lookup.
If its not in the host file then the next step is to do a dns lookup.
