Tetusji,

	This sounds like a DNS problem. If you wait long enough, the
DNS lookup will timeout and sendmail should continue. 

You can either fix your DNS, or prevent named from starting. You will
probably find a symbolic link in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S55named to
/etc/rc.d/init.d/named. remove the link and named ( DNS ) will not
start. You'll want put your host name back to 10.0.0.1 for samba.

Anything sent to 127.x.x.x is seen only on the local machine. Be
convention, the address 127.0.0.1 is defined as "localhost" in
/etc/hosts. 

Hope this helps.
