I don't get this problem when I use my local SMTP server, but get a
similar (but not as long) problem going through the SMTP server that my
cable company uses.  You could always download weasel (look for it on
hobbes or bmtmicro) and use that - it's easy to set up, and it'll go
and send your data in the background.  (And then, if you can get a
static host name, you can get it to work for inbound mail, too.)
