Without a forwards section your DNS requests will all go the the root
DNS servers (not a real good idea). Does your hosting/IP provider
provide DNS servers for you to use? These would/should be much faster
then querying the roots.
Here is an example of a forwarders statement:
forwarders { 192.168.10.10; 192.168.100.10; };
I would also recommend that you change /etc/resolv.conf to this:
search <your_domain>
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 192.168.10.10 <- replace this with your providers DNS
nameserver 192.168.100.10 <- replace this with your providers DNS

Sendmail *never* works right, most folks are just lucky. ;-)
