I would advise the use of a proper tool for this kinda thing...
sendmail is not prepared to be offline unless you use uucp, which is not
an easy thing to set up (at least, people who had set ip up had told me
so). Instead, I used MasqMail (search it in www.freshmeat.net). It's very
easy to setup (took me 10 minutes after reading the short docs) and has
the hability to change the From: part of the mail so they point to a
reachable e-mail account you may have. Give it a try, it won't dissapoint
you...
