I believe that sendmail automatically tries to do a reverse lookup on the domain names used for mail; this may be what causes the lookup. What is *in* your DNS settings? Are they fully setup? Do you have reverse lookups properly defined?
This was the problem! I solved it by adding the IPs and names of the workstation to the HOSTS file.
Thanks.
