You could set up pine to use "localhost" as the smtp server and then have
a cron job make the appropriate connection to your mail host and get the
mail with fetchmail. When the connection is made, smail (or sendmail)
should then be able to connect with the smtp server at your mail host and
send any queued messages (assuming the mail host isn't reachable until
you cause a connection to be made, like a ppp dial-up, etc).
