Hi
If run /usr/lib/sendmail -oQ/var/spool/mqueue-fix -q -v I see lot of
entries similar to following

Running /var/spool/mqueue-fix/l0GDqSi4006826 (sequence 2 of 16)
wp.pl': Name server timeout
<'some user@wp.pl'>... Transient parse error -- message queued for future
delivery
As you see address is wrong and sendmail hangs couple of minute to make host
name lookup.
The most strange thing is that it query also my domain

pdns[20218]: Received a malformed qdomain from XX.XX.XX.XX,
'wp.pl'.my-server-domain.pl': dropping

any idea how to stop this?

*First* "locate" which DNS queries cause timeout, run your command with
DNS tracking turned on:
/usr/lib/sendmail -oQ/var/spool/mqueue-fix -q -v -d8.20
*Second* check if the "trouble making" DNS queries cause no problem when
asked via nslookup/dip - you will know if you have sendmail or DNS
problem.

There is problem because above domain dosn't exist fg wp.pl'.my-domain.pl
(').
I've added FEATURE(`nocanonify') to mc and sendmail return email with
Host unknown (Name server: wp.pl'.: host not found)

Could you recheck *.mc file you have used to generate sendmail.cf?
You problem may be caused by wrong quotes somewhere in the file.
m4 wants `x' quoting, using 'x' is a pretty common mistake.

This mistake in domain is caused by user.
fg to=<'some user@wp.pl'> not by wrong configuration.
I've reporoduced this problem sending email to my self with quotes around my
address.
