This works, and works well, but If I'm correct also creates an open-relay,
for security reasons this is usually unacceptable. This was the primary
reason I switched to postfix, same functionality minus the security gap.

In your .mc file,

define(`confDELIVERY_MODE', `deferred')

This will stop sendmail from doing DNS queries upon accepting the mail.
It's intended for situations where you want to prevent DNS lookups (dialup,
mainly).

I hope that does what you want.
