Yes I have this line.

Ouch .. to technical for me ;-)

So I have an idea. As I am on a dialup connection, when sendmail is
launched, I still don't have any DNS set up (they come from my ISP). So
could it be the cause of my problem ?

What I can see, but not sure 100%, is after being connected, if I
restart sendmail, or if I flush the queue, all the next mails, even
hours after, will be sent correctly.
