sendmail ignores /etc/hosts

[Bob Nielsen <nielsen@primenet.com>]

sendmail seems to ignore the entries in /etc/hosts, relying instead on
doing a DNS lookup for each message.  smail does this also.  Is there a
way to configure it to look first at /etc/hosts and use the DNS only if
the address cannot be resolved there?  I assume it doesn't use
/etc/host.conf, because that already has:

order hosts,bind
multi on
