Install serialmail. In particular, you need maildirsmtp, which takes a
mailbox in maildir format and sends the contents via smtp. Configure
qmail to deliver all outgoing mail to a maildir mailbox by adding the
following entry to control/virtualdomains:
:alias-catchall
and creating the associated .qmail file:
echo ./outgoing/ >~alias/.qmail-catchall
In whatever script you use to bring up your network connection, add a
maildirsmtp invocation to send the mail queued in ~alias/outgoing. Or
set up cron jobs at 8 AM and 5 PM to run maildirsmtp, if you know the
connection will be up at those times. See the maildirsmtp man page for
details on running it.
