I may have another look at the problem. I was experiencing the same "waiting for network configuration" issue after installing sendmail. I looked at my /var/log/upstart/network-interface-lo.log and network-manager.log log files and I found this. /etc/network/if-up.d/sendmail: 44: .: Can't open /usr/share/sendmail/dynamic run-parts: /etc/network/if-up.d/sendmail exited with return code 2 Indeed, the line 44 of the script /etc/network/if-up.d/sendmail calls another script /usr/share/sendmail/dynamic that does not exists. My (bad) patch was to comment line 44 of /etc/network/if-up.d/sendmail which solved the "waiting for network configuration" issue at startup. Hope it helps !
