Well, that's exactly what I was recommending -- using something like sendmail over something which is designed for far more (Postfix). I typically don't use my computer when offline, so having a local mail queue would not be a big win for me over occasionally having to save outgoing e-mails to a local file when offline (which has happened about twice in the last two years).
