Philippe,

you say the queuing only happens after a reboot of your host. You can
run right after a boot following command:

echo '/map host fcomfrench.com.' | sendmail -bt -d8.8

It checks for the name lookup. Please paste it's output along with the
requested output of "sendmail -bt -d0.12 < /dev/null".
