This is probably because your sendmail is trying to reverse resolve the
IP address of your friends.  You can always add

	FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains')dnl

If you do not like this, then try to see if the timeout you perceive
changes by changing the "ident" timeout value.  Set this by

	define(`confTO_IDENT', `5s')dnl

Setting this to `0s', will make things much better if this is the
problem.
