Presently my users behind my bering-leaf f/w send mail using mozilla via my ISP's smtp server. However, this server is sometime down for short periods and connection cannot be made. In that case, the user either retries the send later or saves the message as a draft and tries to send it later. (Mozilla does not seem to have a "guaranteed" delivery feature.)

Is a feasible solution to this to install qmail.lrp on my bering-leaf and let it take the place of the ISP's smtp server from the user's point of view? As I see it, qmail would just relay the messages on to the ISP's smtp server, but if connection to it can not be made, it would queue the messages for later retry.

Most of the discussion on the leaf mail list seems to be about receiving email with qmail and making user accounts. At this time I am only concerned with the sending process and my user's email address would remain [EMAIL PROTECTED] via the ISP's pop server.

Is qmail.lrp a good solution to the problem or is there a better way to fix it? If so, is there a easy way to configure qmail to do just this. In any case, I need to peruse the qmail docs in great detail tomorrow.

Thanks,
