Both smail and sendmail can do this. I never used sendmail, but I can tell
you what to do with smail.
If you install the smail package, it will start smailconfig.
It asks you what kind of system you have. Answer 1, a internet host.
It will also ask you whether to use a smarthost. Enter the name your ISPs
mailserver.
Then say that all outbound mails should be send using the smarthost and
you are done.
Write your emails offline and call "runq" in ip-up to send these mails
when you connect.
