I used install-sendmail to get set up initially and then use a script that
gets fired up when I go online to do a 'sendmail -q' to send queued mail.
There's a few other things that happen with that script like: firing up my
firewall, fetching mail from numerous pop servers and fetching news for my
local news server. That's available if you want but you need to check out
how to start a script once you go online (I use diald which has an option
for a "just connected" script).
