Well, I'm pretty sure that 4.2.2.1 is not your local IP. Start
your /etc/resolv.conf with 

nameserver 127.0.0.1

and make sure dnscache is serving that address (if you followed
the default instructions, it is).

dig @127.0.0.1 www.apple.com

ought to get good results.

Then sendmail may need to be restarted.
