Do you have entries in /etc/resolv.conf(4) and is dns listed in the hosts line in /etc/nsswitch.conf(4)?

Can you look up any DNS address, e.g.:
Code:
$ nslookup news.bbc.co.uk

Code:
$ nslookup <ip address from above>

and then if sendmail is using DNS to find the mail exchanger then:
Code:
$ nslookup
> servertype=MX

and then
Code:
> mailhost

and then to exit from nslookup:
Code:
> exit

On my system the above looks like:
Code:
$ nslookup news.bbc.co.uk
Server:        10.0.0.2
Address:    10.0.0.2#53

Non-authoritative answer:
news.bbc.co.uk    canonical name = newswww.bbc.net.uk.
Name:    newswww.bbc.net.uk
Address: 212.58.226.73

$ nslookup 212.58.226.73
Server:        10.0.0.2
Address:    10.0.0.2#53

Non-authoritative answer:
73.226.58.212.in-addr.arpa    name = newslb305.telhc.bbc.co.uk.

Authoritative answers can be found from:

$ nslookup
> servertype=MX
Server:        10.0.0.2
Address:    10.0.0.2#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    servertype=MX.FullerDomain
Address: 67.215.65.132
> mailhost
Server:        10.0.0.2
Address:    10.0.0.2#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    mailhost.FullerDomain
Address: 67.215.65.132
> exit

rpc.nisd_resolv

rpc.nisd_resolv(1M)					  System Administration Commands				       rpc.nisd_resolv(1M)

NAME

       rpc.nisd_resolv, nisd_resolv - NIS+ service daemon

SYNOPSIS

       rpc.nisd_resolv [-v | -V]  [ -F [-C fd]] [-t xx] [-p yy]

DESCRIPTION

       rpc.nisd_resolv	is  an auxiliary process which provides DNS forwarding service for NIS hosts requests to both ypserv and rpc.nisd that are
       running in the NIS compatibility mode. It is generally started by invoking  rpc.nisd(1M) with the -B  option  or  ypserv(1M)  with  the	-d
       option. Although it is not recommended, rpc.nisd_resolv can also be started independently with the following options.

       This  command requires that the /etc/resolv.conf file be setup for communication with a DNS nameserver. The nslookup utility can be used to
       verify communication with a DNS nameserver.  See resolv.conf(4) and nslookup(1M).

OPTIONS

       -F	Run in foreground.

       -C fd	Use  fd for service xprt (from nisd).

       -v	Verbose. Send output to the syslog daemon.

       -V	Verbose. Send output to stdout.

       -t xx	Use transport  xx.

       -p yy	Use transient program#	yy.

NOTES

       NIS+ might not be supported in future releases of the SolarisTM Operating Environment. Tools to aid the migration from  NIS+  to  LDAP  are
       available in the Solaris 9 operating environment. For more information, visit http://www.sun.com/directory/nisplus/transition.html.
