Disabling DNS lookups; check for any occurrences of $[ ... $] or
$(host ... $) in sendmail.cf. If RBL is enabled, you will need to
comment out the section:
# DNS based IP address spam lists
R$* $: $&{client_addr}
R$-.$-.$-.$- $: $(host $4.$3.$2.$1.rbl.maps.vix.com. $: OK $)
ROK $@ OK
R$+ $#error $@ 5.7.1 $: "Mail from " $&{client_addr} "
refused by blackhole site rbl.maps.vix.com"
