Sendmail tries (in default config) to resolve all addresses from all
active interfaces and add resolved names to its list of local domains
(class {w} in its terminology). Each such resolving can spend a few
minutes. You should add these names to /etc/hosts (easy way) or DNS
(less easy way). Another solutions are described in other replies
to your letter.
