The default setup AFAIK.  If the ppp connection isn't up sendmail
should simply queue external mail anyway because it can't look them up
in DNS or connect to the host.

The only thing you might want to do is ensure sendmail isn't running
the queue every 15 minutes, or whatever, by making sure it starts as
just `sendmail -bd' rather than `sendmail -bd -q15', and then just run
the queue when you connect with `sendmail -q' in /etc/ppp/ip-up.
