Why does mediawiki need to wait on sendmail? If there's an error sending the email it will most likely be on the user end, such as accounts no longer existing. No need to have apaches waiting on sendmails correctly configured.
Most of the Apache servers have SSMTP installed as the local MTA. This is a fairly "dumb" MTA which does no local queueing and simply passes things off to another server. This is nice and simple most of the time, but indeed if your mailhub doesn't respond in a timely fashion... not so good. :)
