create a user lsetia78 on my box to use PINE. But I must admit, I
did'nt try much as I don't use PINE.

In PINE, set the SMTP server to localhost, then make sure that
sendmail is running on your machine. Your messages will be queued in
your local machine. In your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-ppp
script add the line:
/usr/sbin/sendmail -q
which will flush the queue each time you connect to the internet.
In case you send huge mails to multiple recipients, you will do
yourself a favour by setting a smart relay in /etc/sendmail.cf
pointing to your ISP mail server.
Hope this helps,
Lokesh.
