Just installed F7T4 on my workstation, the sendmail and sm-client hangs

I think I worked around the problem on FC6 by hiding the
/etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S80sendmail
script, that works okay for me since I have no use for sendmail.
Is there a better fix?
That I've almost always seen, when sendmail does that, it's because there
isn't a network interface up, and therefore it can't talk to a DNS server.
(Or just the latter -- IIRC, it wants to get DNS replies and will pout
for a while if it can't.) ISTR first encountering this while visiting an
ISP back in '99. Somewhat worrying that the novice Linux user was the one
to figure it out... ;-)
