Hmm, do you have a hostname for your PC that is it something other than localhost? *That* hostname needs to be resolvable. e.g. If your machine was known as "mailserver" at the example.com domain, and an IP address of 192.168.0.1, it'd have a FQDN name of "mailserver.example.com", and you'd want your DNS server to have the appropriate records correlating the names and IP addresses. Probably in both directions (forward zone that answers with that IP for that name, and a reverse zone that answers with that name for that IP).
Yup, that's the problem. /etc/sysconfig/network says HOSTNAME=mtranch.mtranch.com, but that host's not in /etc/hosts. Making that change resolved the problem and as an unexpected side-benefit dramantically speeded up the startup of sendmail in the non-caching-DNS case. Thanks.
