Re: queue or "pause" outgoing mail?

Look at the section titled "How Sendmail Handles Permanent Failures"
Default timeout is 5 days, so you should be fine to let them queue up then check and flush the queue if needed after your corporate mail server is up. Be sure to check your config to confirm it's still default--Timeout.queuereturn=5d in sendmail config.
Hope this helps,

Re: queue or "pause" outgoing mail?
All you have to do to stop outbound mail delivery is to stop the sendmail daemon.
/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
As a practical matter, if the relay server is not available, sendmail will queue up the mail for 5 days before it gives up on it.
You can modify sendmail.cf and change these defaults to deal with a longer planned outage.
In the end, unless the outage is more than 5 days, doing nothing will probably suffice.

O DeliveryMode=background
Change it to "queue" and restart sendmail. Also check the "-q30m" setting.
