(Dang Eudora... CTRL-E means "send it now"... Anyone know how to disable
this "feature" ??? :-/   Sorry, Giancarlo for the noise...)

Rumor has it that Giancarlo Bonansea may have mentioned these words:

>I'm using QMail 1.03 and I need to send a .tar.gz file as an attached file
on a scheduled basis (crond) using a command-line mailer. I'm looking for
one but I didn't find yet. What do you people recommend ?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you want to send an automated attachment every
X hours or days, right? 

If you don't want any text in the message (just the attachment), just set
up a small perl/shell program with something like this in it:

system "uuencode filetosend filetosend | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
[EMAIL PROTECTED]";

(of course, if it's a shell script or directly in the crontab, get rid of
the system"..."; stuff. :-)

Most everything I know of understands uuencoding... That is, of course, if
I understand the question correctly.

Recycling is good, right???  Ok, so I'll recycle an old .sig.

If at first you don't succeed, nuclear warhead
