How to configure MailScanner with sendmail's expensive=true option?

Hi

I use a few mail servers with MailScanner & Sendmail (RH9) that hook up to the
net using a ppp dial up connection every 30 minutes.

I relay the messages to a Smart Host which accepts mail only if it is pop
authenticated... so I run a script which does
1. fetchmail to authenticate my dynamic IP address on the smart host
2. trigger sendmai -q to relay mail to the smart host.

Sendmail is configured with Expensive=True, but MailScanner ignores this
feature and tries to deliver the moment it gets a chance to send out mail.

I read this from the archives but was not sure if this is the solution to my
problem.

Can anyone help?
