Queuing the mail would just be fine. The common problem is that
email relaying servers won't recognise your IP when you try to
send via them. You need to download your emails via POP before
you can send any. But, by the time you get to press G, sendmail
has already cleared the queue and returned a bunch of "email
rejected" messages. One solution would be to use fetchmail. If
sendmail -q starts after fetchmail completes downloading, things
should work fine. I should try this, too :)
