How long should I wait? I let it sit there for about 6-7 minutes and it was
still hung.

When I do this, the sendmail log shows the following:

May 29 22:35:04 freebsd-1 sendmail[928]: gethostbyaddr(10.10.209.143)
failed: 1

and nothing more. I have other users still continuing to send email via
sendmail however; those messages continue to appear while waiting for
'sendmail -v username@domain.net' to do something.
