I've noticed that when rebooting sendmail takes forever - well 5

Below are time relevant extracts from last reboot:

How might I go about finding the problem here?
This generally a DNS problem. Check to see if host names are
resolving correctly.
How do I do that Gerry? My /etc/hosts file seems ok. Resolv.conf lists
my ISP's nameservers. What can I do to pin this down?
Marty
Try typing
host mit.edu
This should come back almost immediately with the ip address for MIT.
If that works then try
host 18.7.22.69
This is a reverse lookup for MIT. It should also come back within a
second or two at most.
If this works then it isn't likely a DNS issue.
