Hi, I'm currently running a simple OpenSMTPD/procmail/mutt setup on the end of a hosted machine on 5.3. To access mail, I'm SSH'ing into the box and firing up mutt. However I need to get "occasionally connected" mail working on my laptop so I can read/respond to it there and deliver back to the hosted machine. I'm using mbox as the mailbox format at the moment. I may be offline for 2-3 days at a time.
I'm considering doing the following things: * Move to maildir at both ends. * Set up OpenSMTPD on the laptop and set it to "pause mta" while disconnected. Also set it up to relay through the hosted machine via auth+TLS. * Write a script that will (when I know I'm connected): 1. unpause the MTA and flush the queues, then pause it again. 2. rsync (over SSH) the maildir from the hosted machine. Can anyone see any flaws in this plan or know of a better solution? For ref, I really don't want to bother with a whole Cyrus/Fetchmail/ IMAP/dovecot stack of turtles. It's too much pain to keep running. Any help appreciated! -- Chris Smith * *
