Perhaps I should have been more explicit about this (I did imply it), but I use msmtp *only* for system emails, you know, from fcron, smtpd, portage, etc. When offline, it would mean that msmtp simply times out and I only notice it when looking through the logs. With portage it's not a problem, but with something like smartd that only sends notifications very rarely, it can be bad. However, Guy-Laurent's post made me aware of the msmtpq/msmtp-queue scripts that are installed by msmtp (but not in PATH). I will investigate these ASAP.
