I wanted to avoid a similar problem with my Windows clients, so I just installed sendmail locally and had the Windows clients send to that. Then they never see a connection issue if the broadband goes down. Sendmail queues it up for them. You have it easier, since you can run sendmail right on the Linux box, and can leave all the anti-spam measures in place. (I'm assuming that Mandrake, like Red Hat, ships a sendmail RPM locked down against any relaying.) There's probably some tips on the sendmail site (http://www.sendmail.org/) about how to tune sendmail to deal with dial-up connections elegantly. _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
