For Sharing to all the FreeBSD Comunity... This tweak its intended for all Administrators that have a Sendmail server outside a Firewall/NAT implementation (not in the same server), and the users that are behind the Firewall/NAT, are having long delays to send email (30 seconds), and you dont want to disable DNS Lookups and use the server as a relay server. Thanks a lot, to all of you that cooperate to solve my problem, especially Doug White and Steven Fletcher.

Check your timeout.ident options in sendmail.cf, try lowering to 5 seconds and restart.
