If I understand what you want to do correctly.

I'd setup the home network to relay to the DSL mailserver for all 
internal domains and the laptop.  Setup the laptop to relay to the home 
network, which will relay on to the DSL mailserver.  Sendmail (on the 
laptop) will queue up all mail that cannot be sent while you're offline 
and make the delivery when you are.

This would be a closed relay since you'd name all valid domains that can 
relay.  Security would not be compromised using this setup.

I've found using Webmin to be the easiest and fastest way to configure 
sendmail.
