Re: [exim] way to delay by time of day?

[OpenMacNews]

hi christian,

/slightly/ more elegant:

one cronjob to vary /etc/exim/DELAY
        echo "DELAY = 55s" >  /etc/exim/DELAY

including this in exim.conf:
         .include /etc/exim/DELAY

then using the DELAY macro in exim.conf
        delay = DELAY

so the cronjob just has to HUP exim.

i had not thought of the include option at all ... cute.

use an acl variable (e.g. acl_m9) which is set from a "warn" acl
which checks a condition for date.

...

        warn
                condition = if sat or sun
                set acl_m9 = 55s

...

        warn
                delay = $acl_m9

did i miss them?

cheers,

richard

i'd thought of this, but failed to find conditions for date/time checks in exim ...
