Ahhh.... instead, leave smtp server blank in the pine settings. Set up
postfix to smarthost thru some.server.ernet.in and queue mails when
offline.

In /etc/postfix/main.cf set these options (assuming you are connected
over a dialup):
relayhost = xxx.xx.ernet.in # relays thru another server
defer_transports = smtp # Queues mails
disable_dns_lookups = yes # If you set this use ip addr for smtp
# server as postfix wont do mx lookup
To send all queued mails
/usr/sbin/sendmail -q # symlink to postfix I think
