Hello, I use msmtp-runqueue.sh under Arch Linux on my laptop, and it's generally working fine. However I just ran into a situation where, due to a day of sporadic connectivity, I noticed that one email with a large attachment had managed to block a whole day's worth of smaller emails.
My very quick proposal is to process mails in the ~/.msmtpqueue in
reverse size order. That will allow larger emails to sit and block when
necessary, but give a boost to smaller emails that might have built up
in the queue. It's not perfect, but I can't see any major negatives to
taking this approach, except in a few pathological cases.
I'm not sure how much msmtp-runqueue.sh is part of the official
distribution, so sorry if this is to the wrong place. A quick diff:
