	Better than that is to merely run sendmail -q each time you
connect to the net.  I think you can do this by adding an executable
script /etc/ppp/ip-up which has the required line.  By setting the
-q1m you are forcing sendmail to try sending mail every one minute (or 
am I wrong)?

	Nothing wrong in having a single letter login.  Your fetchmail
conf should have something like so

poll your_pop_box_name:
	user gautam with password "nice_try" there is g here


This should help I guess.

And setting the username and user-domain properly is the best way to
get your mail out with your correct email address, after all sendmail
is not psychic! :)
