Sendmail doesn't support that or anything else POP3 related. Your best
chance is to tell sendmail to put all outgoing e-mails into the queue
instead of trying to deliver them and use "fetchmail" followed by
a "sendmail -q" to send them out.

The sendmail part of the above solutin can be achieved by adding
these lines to the ".mc" file you use for building your configuration:

define(`confCON_EXPENSIVE',`True')
define(`SMTP_MAILER_FLAGS',`e')

Time to update.

	Kind regards
