The "sendmail -bd -q30m" will queue messages and attempt to send 
them every 30 minutes, which is fine if you have a full-time
connection to the network.  If you're relying on an intermittent
dial-up connection to the internet it may be easier to start a
second sendmail process with "sendmail -q" after the connection
is established.  This second sendmail process will send any
messages it finds in the outbound queue and terminate itself 
after they have been sent.
