This issue came up about a month ago. Here is what worked for me:

Do you remember some months ago that I complained about pine being slow
to send mail? Well, here's the solution from a fellow Linux user:

It seems that when pine did the last major upstream release, the config
file changed (at least in my case, but I could have changed it awhile
ago). Anyway edit .pinerc and change sendmail-path (originally blank) to
the example that is commented out:
# This names the path to an alternative program, and any necessary
arguments,
# to be used in posting mail messages. Example:
# /usr/lib/sendmail -oem -t -oi
# or,
# /usr/local/bin/sendit.sh
# The latter a script found in Pine distribution's contrib/util
directory.
# NOTE: The program MUST read the message to be posted on standard
input,
# AND operate in the style of sendmail's "-t" option.
sendmail-path=/usr/lib/sendmail -oem -t -oi
This made my pine lightning fast without the possible problems of using
the background sending option.
