I just tried sendmail -q, I don't know why I still have "host name lookup 
failure" problem.

AFAIK the hostnames' ip address should be cached for furture reference, so, 
say I lookup hotmail.com, if I access hotmail.com right after that lookup, 
my box should use the cached ip address without lookup DNS again.

Here is what I did:

#nslookup hotmail.com; sendmail -v -q
Server:  modem.realss
Address:  10.0.0.138

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    hotmail.com
Addresses:  64.4.33.7, 64.4.52.7, 64.4.32.7
