i think it's waiting for the network connection. the interface comes
up indifferently if u'r wired to the network or not. only if u use a
script u can avoid the network interface to come up.
so when he find up the network interface the mta try to find a usable
dns, but unsuccesfully.
i'm using postfix but it's the same story.
i'm too lazy to try now the script for check network availability, but
has been discussed on this list.
