Really, you want the serialmail package, since you don't really want
to deliver on a clock, you want to deliver when you're connected,
which may be based on a clock or may not.
Tell qmail to deliver all of the outgoing mail into a maildir by
putting a catchall entry into virtualdomains. Then when you're dialed
up, start maildirsmtp to pump out the messages, typically by running
it at the end of the "ppp up" script. This is exactly the sort of
application that maildirsmtp is intended for, and it works quite well.
