I notice that during boot the sendmail and sm-client hang for a while any idea as to why this may be ? It does finnally boot and everything works okay I'm just curious why this happens and if there is anything I can do about it. Maybe stop the process from starting at boot or somhow configure it better.

Typically a long sendmail startup is caused by waits for forward and reverse DNS resolution.
