It would really best to supply the whole host.domain in the file for the entry. Since you also have 2 different networks, sendmail may be having trouble figuring out what the server really is. The 192.168 address resolves differently than the 69.234 address. And the 69.234 address doesn't reverse to the same name set in /etc/hosts. This confusion can very much cause sendmail to get all turned around and stall. You might want to consider looking at your logs to see if you have errors reflecting this.
I did both this and took Scott's advice (to leave my machine name off the localhost line) and the sendmail and sm-client now start just fine (fast).
Are you using the stock drivers or the proprietary nForce chipset
drivers?
I couldn't find any sata drivers from nVidia, just video drivers.
However, I did notice that when I put a new sata drive in to replace the defective one, smartd was happy and quick once again. I thought maybe there was a bad entry in the smartd.conf file, but that drive isn't in there at all (I'll be adding it once it passes a preliminary badblocks screen - so far so good).
The new drive is a WD320 - a little smaller (and cheaper), but it seems to be running quite a bit better already....
