Thanks but that didn't solve the problem completley. Now instead of
local mail hanging in the queue forever it "disappears". This is the
message in /var/log/maillog:

8@myname.my.domain>, relay=alex@localhost
Mar 20 14:47:03 myname sendmail[1768]: f2KEl3J01768: to=root,
delay=00:00:00, mailer=local, pri=37472, stat=queued
Mar 20 14:47:04 myname sendmail[1769]: gethostbyaddr(192.168.0.2)
failed: 1

And then it finaly gets sent somewhere, because I don't receive it in
my mailbox or root's. This is the message: 

Mar 20 14:47:49 myname sendmail[1801]: f2KEl3J01768: to=root,
ctladdr=alex (1001/1001), delay=00:00:46, xdelay=00:00:00, mail
er=local, pri=127472, dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent Mar 20 14:47:56 myname
sendmail[1803]: gethostbyaddr(192.168.0.2) failed: 1

If anybody could help I would be grateful, thanks.
