where does the server point to for its dns? if it's (supposed to be)
running a nameserver (e.g., you're pointing to 127.0.0.1) but the dns
server isn't running you'll get a timeout. if you have a second
nameserver configured in /etc/resolv.conf you'll likely ultimately
get a response, but only after you time out on the first.
by the way, you may want to look at the server's "client" sendmail
queue ("mailq -Ac"). the remote clients dump to the regular queue
(/var/spool/mqueue), but localhost mail goes into the clientmqueue
(/var/spool/clientmqueue). if mail is hanging there it might give
hints that are easier to debug than are remote connections. [you may
also want to try originating mail from localhost and see what
happens.]

The server points to another server on the network for dns, which is
running and accepting queries on 53, as expected. resolv.conf points to
the correct nameserver IP.
I'll check the client queue..hadn't thought of that.
