This is what I have curently and it fils up my logfiles, if I use a
login manualy. Dial-Out on deman is no option, because the IDLE-Time
of my ppp-Box. So I like to collect the Mails once per hour and at
the same time I like to fetch my mails.

For some days there was a Topic "Courie on Dial-Out" or somting
like this, Ans the answer was use "/usr/sbin/courier flush"...
Which mean, that I can stop the delivery to the ISP SMTP-Relay.
OK, if I set the delay to one year for example, I can flush
whenever I want, but, I think, there must be an option, which I
have not found.

Yes it is !!!
Courie sends me for each Mail which is in the queue a message...
I think, I have around 120 per day...

OK, I will look for it.
