Dear Folks,

apologies if this question is off-topic, but I know no other place I
can ask.
I got one problem configuring sendmail (or maybe I need something
else?):

Current setup: Internet connection via modem (dialup).
Receiving mail using POP3 and fetchmail from the provider.
Sending mail via yahoo. <- this should change.

Here's what I want to do:

I want /one/ account here on my local box to be able to receive
internet mail via my provider. Local mail delivery should continue as
usual. When I dial up to my provider, fetchmail grabs e-mail stored at
my provider and forwards it to the enabled account locally. Mail sent
from the internet-mail-enabled account to non-local addresses only
should be delivered to my provider as soon as the connection is
completed. Other local mail should not leave my box.

What I /not/ want is to grab the mail using Netscape, KMail or the
like, I prefer solutions using sendmail, so local delivery will
continue as usual.

AFAIK this should be possible using sendmail -- only I cannot figure
out how. Anybody got some pointers for me?

Thanks in advance
Christoph Sold
