Postfix solution:
My fault entirely. I had specified the smtp server as
XXXXX.XX.XXXX.ernet.in which relays mails and was using
this as the default SMTP server in my PINE settings.
And when the network cable was not connected, postfix
had no way of delivering mails.
what surprised me was that there was NO error message.
