When courier receives mail it will try and send it immediately. If that fails then the retries are controlled by the files esmtpdelay, retryalpha, retrybeta, retrygamma, and retrydelta. You can find out about how these work
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.
What you may consider doing is running 'courier stop' when the dialup line is offline, and run 'courier start' when the dialup line comes up.
Even when the courierd daemon is not running, any message received via ESMTP, or locally, are accepted and queued up. When 'courier start' runs, it will pick up all received messages, and push them out.
There are two caveats:
1) When Courier is stopped, no mail delivery takes place. Even local mail is not delivered.
2) The 'courier stop' commands halts all delivery attempts in progress. Therefore you should not run courier stop when messages are being delivered. There's no permanent harm, though, but it's a rather "rude" thing to do.
