Hi. I don't know that much about delivery, but you might want to check out if your remote server supports a post-office-protocol (like POP3?). I use this to download my mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] from my remote mail server (mail.strhg1.mi.home.com), specifically I use the "fetchmail" package to do this. The remote server collects the mail there, then, whenever my machine is up, I run fetchmail and the mail is transferred directly to my local machine (I also have a "cron" job that runs fetchmail every 4 hours). Sounds like its just what you're looking for.
HTH -- Harmon -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
