though I agree you probibly want a MUA that does the work  for you.

if you really want an MTA, exim will do exactly what you are after, basically
you tell exim not to automatically send non local mail, then in your connection
code you tell exim to process the queue while your connected, once your not
connected anything not sent gets left for the next time you connect, the stuff
to make this work is documented in the docs, and there are scripts i think on
exim.org (or in the package??)
