Just out of curiosity, why don't you want the MTA to be involved
in delivering the message? That's what the MTA does!
I think I would set up a send-hook that adds an X-Me (or
whatever) header, which would be caught by a procmail
rule, which would look something like:
:0:
* ^X-Me:
sent-`date +%m-%d-%Y`
Complimenting this would be a small cron entry:
58 23 * * * (TODAY=`/usr/bin/date +"$HOME/Mail/sent-%m-%d-%Y"` \
/usr/bin/rm $HOME/Mail/send-today && \
/usr/bin/touch $TODAY && \
/usr/bin/ln -s $TODAY sent-today)
which symlinks the current day's sent-* mbox to sent-today
(darren)
