john,

i saw the same thing when i moved from 4.1R to 4.3-BETA over the last
week. sendmail by default is compiled with IPv6 support and this is what's
causing the seemingly hang when it sends out email. ethereal confirmed
that it was sending out IPv6 DNS queries and attempting to connect thru
IPv6 before reverting back to IPv4.

remove the "-DNETINET6" in /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/Makefile and rebuild
sendmail. works fine for me after that.
