Is the DNS lookup causing your machine to dial on demand? I have a
sendmail setup that I used for several years that did what you want,
but I had no DoD arrangement on my machine. I now use Weasel instead of
sendmail, I found the IBM sendmail OK (equivalent to 8.6.11) but the
ports of 8.9.x have given me trouble in one way or another.

If you don't have DoD I suggest trying what I was using. Let me know, I
will forward you the packages I based my setup on.
