Souper queueing?

When I last upgraded to a newer version of the Souper mailer, I failed to
notice that it now had internal mail handling capabilities, and no
longer needed to call "sendmail" to deliver outgoing mail. I had a
MAILER environment variable set up, so things continued as they
were.

Today I was experimenting with Souper's internal mailing capability.
For sending large batches of mail, it seems to be a lot faster, but
I have a concern. I'm using a dial-up PPP connection, and often use
CRON to auto-schedule mail exchange sessions. In the past, I've
lost the connection with my ISP. When that happened, with
Souper/sendmail, the mail would be queued to the "mqueue" diretory,
so that it could be resent later using "sendmail -q", and none would
get lost.

Does Souper's internal mail handler have any such safeguards?
