Yes, this does.
Smail: 3.2.0.100-4
Pine: 3.96L-2
This is the error message I get:
[Mail not sent. Sending error: 450 defer '<adam.heath@usa.net>', sender]
Let me state this again. Sending mail on the cmd line will queue mail for
later delivery when not online. However, if I am in Pine, it(Pine) attempts
to use the local smtp relay(localhost), and mail delivery fails(doesn't
queue).
