Assuming that smail is configured correctly, you only need to
	runq
whenever you are connected to your ISP and want the accumulated mail to get 
sent.
you can take a look at the log file (/var/log/smail/logfile) while you are 
doing that to see what happens.
BTW, with my system and ISP, getting the accumulated mail pass to my ISP may 
take some time.
To verify that all the mail has been sent, you can use 
	mailq
on my system, when all its mail has been deleivered, it looks like
	bash-2.00$ mailq
	bash-2.00$
