Exactly my case - but i put ppp -auto AFTER sendmail start... and it hangs for
a while. The solution is - put the name of you local host in /etc/hosts, to
escape DNS lookup.

P.S. Such cases easily can be examinated via ktrace utility.

I have the following in my /etc/hosts file

127.0.0.1             localhost     main.jacobs.household

everything else is comments.

I am running a caching only DNS.
