this is one of the mail exchangers for freemail.hu from my
DNS query it has several:
freemail.hu preference = 30, mail exchanger = fmx3.freemail.hu
freemail.hu preference = 30, mail exchanger = fmx4.freemail.hu
freemail.hu preference = 10, mail exchanger = fmx.freemail.hu
freemail.hu preference = 30, mail exchanger = fmx1.freemail.hu
freemail.hu preference = 30, mail exchanger = fmx2.freemail.hu

appears your system is unable to resolve the address
of the mail exchanger. check your /etc/resolv.conf
and use nslookup to check to see if you can resolve it
outside of sendmail.
if your using a dialup i reccomend configuring sendmail
to use a smarthost, and relay through your isp's mail
server.
when configuring sendmail ('sendmailconfig') be sure to
enable DNS (default), i turn off "assume best MX is local",
