Sendmail times out when mailing to addresses outside my ISP.

/var/log/maillog shows the mail received by localhost and then it times out
sending to the domain of the recipient. It keeps trying to send
intermittently. It goes fine if I send to an address that's hosted at my
ISP.

How could I diagnose the problem?
