You might consider setting this:
confDONT_PROBE_INTERFACES DontProbeInterfaces
[False] If set, sendmail will _not_
insert the names and addresses of any
local interfaces into class {w}
(list of known "equivalent" addresses).
Without it, sendmail will try a reverse DNS lookup on each interface
address.
