Re: How to queue messages for later delivery

[Marco Leeflang]

i use the holdremote patch for this and use a little script  started by cron look at :  qmail holdremote patch Filippos Slavik wrote: Hello, I'm searching the archives of the qmail list, but I can't find the correct answer. My problem is the following: I want my smtp server, which delivers my mails through big.isp smtp (** i use /var/qmail/control/smtproutes**), to queue all outgoing messages and try make a smtp connection each n seconds. Offcourse this is the case of lan qmail smtp server connecting to the internet using a dialup connection. In my current setup, qmail-smtp once a message is available for delivery, is trying to connect to the big.isp smtp server. If the ppp connection is not up, qmail-smtp puts the message in the queue for later delivery. When the connection cames up, I issue a ALRM signal to the qmail-send process to reschedule it's outgoing messages for delivery. Althought this approach works for me, it makes me some problems (diald*) -> So I'd like to ask, can I make qmail-send  DO NOT try to make a immediate delivery ? Best RegardsFilippos Slavik  ################################################################    Filippos Slavik    Part of the SIAMS's implementation development team.
