You could try Exim :-) If you want to stick with Sendmail (ugh..), then
try this in your mc file:
define(`SMTP_MAILER_FLAGS', `e')dnl
define(`ESMTP_MAILER_FLAGS', `e')dnl
define(`confCON_EXPENSIVE', `True')dnl
I tried that while briefly looking at Sendmail, and I think it
worked. Just run `sendmail -q' when you go online, perhaps from
/etc/ppp/ppp.linkup, or the counterpart if you're using kernel ppp.
There isn't much point in having `-q30m' in the sendmail_flags though,
since you only need to do a queue run when you go online. You'll need a
different setup if you have other machines on a LAN to deliver mail to,
since mail for those should be delivered immediately. My Sendmail
knowledge won't help you there.
