it is better for you not to set the relay host in sendmail.cf
and let sendmail do the dns lookups and delivery of mail.
or another way is use specific scripts, which will restart
sendmail with different config files when connecting to
different isps (too much load)
or takeup an email accnt at flashmail, and set the smtp
server as smtp.flashmail.com
or remark the line which initates sending queue from
/etc/ppp/ip-up and add it to a custom script which
dials up eth.net and waits till the ip is up then
sends the mail. use another script to connect to
mantra, when you will not be sending mail.
