Long load time for sendmail often means that host resolution is not
working properly on your box. Sendmail wants to know the fully
qualified name and address of your system, which generally means:
(a) HOSTNAME in /etc/sysconfig/network is fully qualified, and
(b) There is a corresponding entry in /etc/hosts.
There are other ways to resolve this problem, but this is usually the
simplest.
