from pagestation.com I can "ping devcentos5x64.msgnet.com" - this entry is in the /etc/hosts file on that machine. There is no official MX record for devcentos5x64.msgnet.com there is for pagestation.com.

on pagestation.com I have the /etc/hosts entry and /etc/mail/access entry for devcentos5x64.msgnet.com Perhaps its an MX lookup timeout value.

I am looking for a timeout setting or a way to place an entry in a config file that says "I know this server or machine", trust it and dont delay. Is there such a setting?

Rebuild sendmail.cf on devcentos5x64.msgnet.com to *not* use DNS.

See http://www.sendmail.org/faq/section3/sf_highlight/configure+no+DNS#3.22
