A little more info please. Sendmail as a local delivery agent or internet mail or both? Sendmail will have a noticeable delay if it has trouble with a hostname lookup. Mine's sort of broken as I'm forcing my hostname to mandrakesoft.com on the RS6000, for rpm building, but that's not the machine/network's real name. If you're using kmail strictly for internet mail, can't it post mail directly to your ISP's smtp server? (Sorry I don't really use kmail, so I'm not sure of it's capabilities). Unless you're using sendmail to do some masquerading or something, you may be adding an extra layer of complexity in there that's not needed. I know I've piped mail into sendmail from the command line on the RS6000 to make sure it was working for local delivery for cron jobs, and it went through right away. I haven't really set it up for internet mail on that machine as that is done on another machine on my network that I don't subject to cooker, but I can try to duplicate your setup if I get a chance and see what's going on. BTW - your mailer is overriding the "Reply To:" for the list so I have to reply to all recipients for my answers to hit the list.
