SMTP. /usr/lib/sendmail is not affected, cron messages go through
fine.

Probably between two suspends, my personal notebook gets
suspended/resumed multiple times a day.

Somewhere many hours and a few seconds.

The SMTP client times out after a few minutes. I have had processes in
this state for more than two hours.

You mean like
- reboot
- suspend for like a minute
- deliver a message
- wait for two minutes
maybe?

of exim work just fine.
