RE: Everything about Sendmail is Slow
I checked the DNS resolvers and no problem there. Also if you ping a
hostname it resolves immediately.
What about the fact that the mailq command takes upwards of 1 minute to
output the q, even when the q is empty?

My first guess would be to look at DNS resolution. It has the symptoms
of slow host lookups.
