Hi qmail gurus,
I have here a little network with only a few clients and a
SuSE-linux-server.
The server dials up into the internet only if an adress outside our
local network is requested by some client.
On our server I have qmail for local e-mail. The "normal"
e-mail-server for our domain is running at the internet service
provider.
Evry hour our server runs fetchmail to fetch e-mail from the
provider's server and feed it into our local qmail.
So far, everything works well.
But: If some User in the local network writes an e-mail, and delivers
it to the local qmail-server, the server dials up the internet to send
out this single e-mail.
That's not what I want it to do. I would like qmail to keep all
outgoing mail in it's queue and collect it e. g. for one hour. Then if
e. g. some script is running I want it to deliver all mails from it's
queue, because this would save some online-costs.
I tried to set concurrencyremote to 0. This has the effect, that all
remote-mails are hold on the queue. When the server is online I tried
to give an ALRM-signal to qmail-send, but qmail ignores this. This is
also not, what I want.
The only way I found is bevore going online to set concurrencyremote
to >0, go online, restart qmail, let it deliver the mails, go offline,
set concurrencyremote to 0 and restart qmail again. But I do not want
to restart my qmail everytime.
Is there another way?
Bye and Thanks,
*B* erny
