Let's see - maybe because Linux tries to authenticate you each 
time, times out and then allows you to send?  See the following for 
more help - or use your ISP's smtp server as that will allow all 
clients to send mail directly.

Further, sendmail 8.8.x is full of security holes, outdated and 
unsupported.  Upgrade to 8.9.3 and rebuild your sendmail.cf file for 
maximum security.
