How do I make this resolve faster or something. I have no way to make an MX record for this box. its all just local email. it never leaves the box.
have you seen

nslookup only looks at DNS. So if you are trying to resolve something that is in something other than DNS, nslookup won't do you any good.
But sendmail is going to ask DNS first and if DNS fails with a timeout instead of a quick NXDOMAIN, delivery will be slow.
