The place where I have come across this is on DNS timeouts. e.g. if you
have an IP address on an interface that has as its DNS a non reachable
server (for whatever reason), sendmail will block until it gets an answer
either way. Do all the PTR records for your IP addresses on the machine in
question return right away ?
