Problem: Not always sending or fetching mail, upon connection. Environment: RedHat 5.1 Details: I have added the necessary commands to /etc/ppp/ip-up.local to automatically fetch Email from my ISP, both POP and SMTP; and to automatically send any pending SMPT Email that I've written. For the curious, my /etc/ppp/ip-up.local looks like this: sendmail -q etrn.pl email.vnet.net fetchmail --batchlimit 1000 wall mail fetched I always get the wall message, so I know that ip-up.local is being executed. However, most of the time, nothing is sent or fetched, and I have to manually execute the commands. Curiously, one time in about 6 or 7, either the fetchmail (POP), or booth it, and the etrn.pl (SMTP) works. (I have never noticed the sendmail actually work.) Manually executing these commands, always has the desired affect. I suspect it's a timing issue. So, I was looking for some way to put in a delay, but couldn't find it. Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.
