Check sendmail's configuration(/etc/mail) and be sure your name resolution is working. if your NIC isn't always detected at boot then put those entries in /etc/hosts, I used to also add an & to the end of the sendmail startup so it would load in the background(on systems such as laptops which may not have any name resolution at points). you can do this by adding it in the sendmail init script. Sendmail will still hang but it will hang in the background, usually sendmail will "unhang" after the name resolution attempts timeout.
