sendmail waiting at boot time

[Crucificator]

I think this problem goes to improperly configured DNS server and 
hostname. Did you install sendmail and after that changed your hostname?
man chkconfig - for disabling services
you have deleted the entry for level 2 and 3 and you probably boot into 
level 5
