Sendmail config for laptop without network connection

*** Culprit: sendmail-8.12.5-7 on RH 8.0 but probably me instead.

Problem: Make sendmail put my mail in queue when I'm not on the network 
and send it when I'm back home.


Client: Pine 4.44... :-)


I use a very basic sendmail.cf file and send all mail to my hub at home 
which does the rest. I'm using the same (slightely adjusted for the latest 
sendmail version) sendmail.mc file I used until now, with specifically 

	"FEATURE(`delay_checks')dnl" in the sendmail.mc file

and

	To:linuxix.2y.net       RELAY
	Connect:linuxix.2y.net  RELAY

in the /etc/mail/access file per instructions of 
/usr/share/sendmail-cf/README file:

delay_checks    The rulesets check_mail and check_relay will not be called
                when a client connects or issues a MAIL command, 
		respectively.
                Instead, those rulesets will be called by the check_rcpt
                ruleset; they will be skipped under certain circumstances.
                See "Delay all checks" in the anti-spam configuration control
                section.  Note: this feature is incompatible to the versions
                in 8.10 and 8.11.

According to me and the instruction above, all checks should be postponed
and I should be able to put mail in the queue while away. However,
sendmail is complaining with:

	ruleset=check_mail, arg1=<zoki.porta at linuxix.2y.net>,
	relay=zoki at localhost, reject=553 5.1.8 <zoki.porta at linuxix.2y.net>... 
	Domain of sender address zoki.porta at linuxix.2y.net does not exist

I'm overlooking something, but what?

Cheers,
Zoran.
