I'm not sure if it will work for you, but the way I've got it set up here,
diald does run all the time but as far as the mail goes, I've got it set up in
a script which is launched by cron and it just fetches the mail 3 times daily.
As far as sendmail goes, I'm sorry to say, as soon as we write the email, it
does try to send it. I've got the queing option enabled in my sendmail
configuration file, but up till now, I figured it was because of the mail
handler (netscape) that we were using.
