Thank you for your answers.

@jim_mcnamara
Mailx resolves quickly the IP of MAILHOST it is not a dns delay in my situation.
Regarding the sendmail.cf I will search around how to compile it.

Thank you for your time.

The problem we had was: exchange "refused" the mailx request and forwarded it OUT of the building and out of our domain. 20 minutes later the message came back in from the wild. The cause was not DNS but exchange settings. The MAILHOST thing forces exchange to accept the fact that yes, we are part of your domain, so send it NOW! We did this because our windows admins were not sure how to fix exchange.

sendmail is very complex - consider getting one of the O'Reilly books on sendmail.
