I tried: mail panel mail panel@localhost mail panel@localhost.localdomain mail panel@machine.domain.com (insert actual machine and domain)

All the above have the same slow 2 minute delay.

This is odd.

You still haven't answered how long nslookup takes to respond with these or your IP addresses. I think sendmail will ask DNS for an MX record first because that's how mail is supposed to work - then if that fails it goes for an A record or your hosts file.
