The problem with this is that the boot-up process sendmail tries to resolve all of your interfaces at startup (in daemon mode) in order to build an initial Cw You can try to add your host in /etc/hosts if it's not there already. Another, ugly, option would be to remove the initial resolving which is done in daemon.c (IIRC). Make sure you build your own Cw if you do this.
