Here is a test from the command line:

# With connection ON
$ cat /tmp/test-mail | ~/bin/msmtpq xavier@maillard.im
  mail for [ xavier@maillard.im ] : send was successful

$ echo $?
0

# With connection OFF
$ cat /tmp/test-mail | ~/bin/msmtpq xavier@maillard.im
  mail for [ xavier@maillard.im ] : couldn't be sent - host not connected
    enqueued mail as : [ 2018-11-12-06.05.45 ] ( xavier@maillard.im ) : 
successful

$ echo $?
0

As far as I can see, it should be ok. Does sendmail-send-it expect a message or 
something like that ?

Thank you.
