Hi,
I'm looking at implementing serialmail and am delivering out-going mail
to a maildir.
I'd like to run maildirsmtp as a cron job but only if any outgoing mail
exists, ie;
if <any new mail in Maildir> then run maildirsmtp
What's the "best" way to check for new mail in a Maildir?
Currently I'm thinking of using a script something like this:
#!/bin/bash
if [ 'ls ~alias/pppdir/new | wc -w' != "" ] ; then
# run maildirsmtp here
fi
Is there a more elegant way to do this, ie is there an already-written
script/function that I don't know about?
Thanks,
R.
