I've noticed that my mail is not sent (mailq is empty). Here's the
message in /var/log/maillog I get:
Jul 30 19:43:58 home sendmail[12761]: h6UNhvsI012761: to=<mabramso@xxxxxxx>, delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, pri=31606, relay=gmu.edu, dsn=5.1.2, stat=Host unknown (Name server: gmu.edu: no data known)
Jul 30 19:43:58 home sendmail[12761]: h6UNhvsI012761: h6UNhvsJ012761: return to
sender: Host unknown (Name server: gmu.edu: no data known)
It does work when I dial up with another ISP. Is that because of this
ISP's DNS server? How can I specify a good DNS server since
resolv.conf gets rewritten when I connect to this ISP?

Thanks, that's what I was looking for. But maybe I don't need to relay
my mail?
