MTAs like to have a working DNS, it sounds like your hostname is not
resolvable during MTA startup.

You'll have similiar issues with apache, squid, etc.

You can either:
        1) install a caching DNS (bind9, etc)
        2) make sure /etc/hosts has an entry for your box

Microsoft is a cross between the Borg and the Ferengi.  Unfortunately,
they use Borg to do their marketing and Ferengi to do their
programming.
