sendmail queue question

[Roger Oberholtzer]

Is there any logic in sendmail to delay sending mail to some hosts? I
have a situation where mail arrives to a mail host running sendmail, and
the mail sits there for over 45 minutes before being sent on. I think it
is only for some destinations. The destination in question is a local
internal machine. It is available, and  the DNS is responding promptly.
I am at a bit of a loss where to look. sendmail -bh for the hosts says:

 acme.pacific               00:04:53 250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 1

So why does mail to this system sit around for 45 minutes?
