When the PPP connection is *down*, the mail is queued (like it should be).
But when the mail to be relayed is sent while the connection is *up*, it is
still queued.
This can't be the default behavior (as you pointed out), but I'm not sure
which of the options I've set that cause this... Here's my *.mc file (I
pulled out all the "dnl..." lines:

I don't see anything there that looks like it would cause queuing rather than
attempting for relayed mail when the PPP connection is up...
