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. ;-)
