hmmm ... noone working on Sat nite =)a question abt what i thought was going to be a simple task -- varying smtp delay by time of day.
on a CGPro system, i run a cron job at various times of day to use its CLI to change smmtp delay and # of available SMTP connections.
in exim, i'd like to make similar changes ...
the target, of course is:
acl_check_connect:
require hosts = *
delay = XXs
the best i can figure so far, one conceivable option is to assign delay to a
MACRO,
delay = MY_DELAYs
and with a cron job, kill then relaunch EXIM with a "-DMY_DELAY=XXs" ( i don't
_think_ you can pass exim a -D param with just a sigHUP ...)
this seems a bit brute force/inelegant ...another approach would be to reach OUT -- i.e., use a series of conditionals in the 'delay =' stanza that use ${run<command> expansion to reach out to the shell's date/time function ... but, again, 'kludgy'.
is there another/better approach for this? thx! richard
