I think it's sendmail itself that complains on startup (running as

That's certainly what it looks like.

If you look for My unqualified host name unknown; sleeping for

add your unqualified host name in /etc/hosts.
That line is already in /etc/hosts, both with and without a trailing
period. I still get the ~3 messages about a minute

Dunno about the OP, but my FreeBSD machines do not have nor need
valid FQDNs because they sit behind a NAT firewall (and therefore
do not have externally-identifiable IP addresses). I want hostname
to simply return the unqualified host name (say, foo), not foo.com
nor foo.uucp nor even
I can't check it right now but I'll asap.

Is the name nyana the DNS or in /etc/hosts?

There is another
unqualified host name (mylan) unknown; sleeping for retry.
and this would make the system wait for about 2-3 minutes as it tried to more
times.
So I reinstalled and this time set the hostname to localhost same thing
happens..
not sure what is should be to get rid of this error.
Thanks

the machine booted just after starting sshd I get

If you don't have access to DNS to set your hostname properly, you can
use a garbage name and add it to /etc/hosts and the delays will go away.
You can also ctrl-C the delay away-- it'll kill Sendmail's hangign.

Make sure the host's names (including localhost) are defined in
/etc/hosts, and that /etc/hosts is being used in name resolution
