I've been using msmtp for many years, and I find I don't miss having
an outbout mail queue.  It turns out I just don't send e-mail when
"offline".  If I do try to send mail, and it fails, I actually like
knowing about it imediately rather than finding out three days later
that something's broken and nothing I've sent out in the past few days
has actually been sent.
