The system hangs trying to start sendmail. I was thinking hard about disabling sendmail, but thought I needed it for internal functions, so did not. yet.

So is there someway to get the system working so I can change something like disable sendmail?

sendmail is waiting for dns resolution of its hostname/name. Fix that and it will not 'hang'. Or just wait for the dns queries to timeout (could take a while...i cannot remember...5 mins?)
