Then the next step up the ladder is DNS resolution. Postfix is not going to  
cache DNS queries by itself. If this was anything other than Slackware then  
my next suggestion would be to uninstall systemd-resolved and fix /etc/ 
resolv.conf, which never fails to fix these kinds of issues. But, that's not  
the case here.

Does anything useful get logged to syslog when "sendmail -q" is run, and  
no delivery attempts are made. Does Postfix normally log something for every  
delivery attempt. Is there a config setting in Postfix that increases the  
logging level. You want to get to the point where every mail delivery  
attempt gets logged, and then see what happens when "sendmail -q" does not  
do anything.
