I'm using Sendmail on a dialup and it queues messages when offline. When
Mutt sends a message it's put in the queue and no dialup is initiated.
Later, when I connect, I type "sendmail -q" and the queued messages are
sent. Unfortunately, I don't remember where this is configured, but at
least you know it's possible to stop sendmail/PPPd from dialing every time
a message is queued (I think this is a PPPd issue).
If someone else doesn't point out what needs to be configured, let me know
and I'll dig into it more.
