Tim;
I may be way off base here; I am not up on things dealing with networks
in general and Network Manager in particular. But ...

I think I had a similar problem with Boinc; got lots of suggestions from
the list. Some of them even worked. I filed a bug against Network
Manager and got the following response:

Boinc is probably starting so soon after NetworkManager that the network
is not up yet. It's technically a bug in Boinc that it doesn't wait for
a network connection and periodically re-try to send/grab the data. But
for the moment, you can add the line:
NETWORKWAIT=yes
to /etc/sysconfig/network and startup will block for 10 seconds or until
a network connection is up, whichever is sooner.
This solution avoids the restart. Maybe this will work for sendmail as
well.
