You can use pppd or diald setted up to dial on demand to enable the sending of the outgoing messages. To receive incoming messages you have to use etrn script (see sendmail docs) or fetchmail depends on the way of mail delivery (smtp or pop).

Run diald with the defaultroute option. No changes to sendmail.
