In the configuration file (I do not remember which one), there is a command
to tell sendmail to:
1- Hold expensive
2- Not to canonize the name.
The second one is the most important (I think): it tells sendmail not to
verify the name of the address when it receive a new mail. Even if you
tell sendmail to queue messages to send them later (using sendmail -q), if
it has to verify the name, it will do a DNS request to check the name: this
is why diald is dialing.
