Well, if you don't mind changing the name of your local account, you
can modify the /etc/sendmail.cf file. Chang the DM line to read
DMhotmail.com and it will change the domain name on all outgoing
e-mail to look if it came from hotmail.com.
Also, in your ip-up file, have it run sendmail -q when you bring up
the ppp link to your ISP, and sendmail will send all waiting e-mail
when the connection comes up.
There may also be a way to have sendmail change sandesh to sandesh_r
when sending e-mail, but I have never needed it, so I don't know...
I hope this helps!
