Have a newsletter list and wish to schedule delivery overnight to
minimize affect on bandwidth (38k subscribers)
I've logged in as root and run:
at 11:15 today
at> /usr/bin/mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Message subject" <
/path/to/testfile.txt
Which went in fine.
Problem was nothing was delivered, nothing showing in /var/log/maillog/,
var/mailman/log/smtp log or var/log/mailman/post log
So, thinking that it was user related, I changed it to:
at> /bin/mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] -s "Message subject" <
/path/to/testfile.txt
Still nothing delivered however I have checked maillog and seen the
following entry:

(I think some of the above entries relate to another post that is being
processed)
On checking the smtp log, I have an entry:
Jul 23 11:25:05 2004 (848)
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
smtp for 1 recips, completed in 0.688 seconds
There is nothing is the post log however and nothing in the mail queue.
It appears that it has gone somewhere but I don't really know how to
proceed from here and troubleshoot.
Can anyone offer any advice?
thanks
Rob
