Sendmail will take care of that ... and set your domain name in .muttrc as
well, to avoid HELOing as localhost.localdomain (or whatever).

Why???
Here's what I use on a standard dialup (redhat 6.1 running sendmail 8.10)
on my home box.
DS my.isps.smtp.server # if just an ip, make it DS [ip.ad.dr.ess]
0 Set HoldExpensive=True # Make sendmail queue mails when offline
That way, you don't even have to set sendmail_wait=-1 in .muttrc (which
also works, btw).

Why do you want to restart sendmail all the time, for $deity's sake?

^^^^^ That's all folks ;)
