I'm no email expert at all, but I have the basics of this working for
exim (like smail). I attach my exim.conf - basically use "queue_smtp" -
this will resolve the names, but only send local ones. Then use "exim -qf" to
force a
retry. I do this when I dial-up to my ISP, but you could just stick it in
your crontab.
