Umm, no. If properly set up, queuing does *not* occur in non-daemon
mode. That's the whole point of NOT running the MTA as a daemon. There
isn't anything there to queue anything. If immediate delivery fails,
/usr/bin/sendmail exits with a non-zero return code, and there is no
queueing.
Bear in mind that the mail command isbasically a wrapper for sendmail
when used thus:
echo some messages | mail -s 'some mail' [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If [EMAIL PROTECTED] cannot he reached immediately, where does the mail go?
If you have a working relay, fine, but if someone tripped over the wire,
what then?
