It's probably ident lookups.
Either stop sendmail requesting them, or unblock it on your firewall
from that machine.

If it's not ident lookups, then it'll be DNS, I guess.
Add an entry for those machines to your hosts file, and if that still
doesn't work then run a local nameserver and make it authoritative
for 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa.
