Sir:
No offense intended, but I have many things to do, ahead of learning
m4. Would it be possible to see the results of your the changes
below, in your sendmail.cf file? I, too, have been looking for

Great--sendmail queues the message. However, it does a dns lookup
before it will accept the message, which triggers diald to bring up
the link. (which I'm trying to avoid)

a means to an end -- giving my network clients internet connectivity
at a reasonable price. I wish I could be in the Linux world all the
time, but that's not possible, yet.
