setting sendmail.mc options?
I'm sure this isn't the correct place for this question, but I'm not sure where to go as I only use my FreeBSD Unleashed to admin my sendmail. I'm a newbie at this and could use a little help. I'm trying to configure sendmail, using the freebsd port, to only relay mail once a day (I hate emails every few minutes), and if possible to hold outbound mail in the que (I think there's some que) until some fixed time (like 7am) so that all my mail is transferred then. I've tried adding: #sendmail_flags=-bp -q480m and #sendmail_flags=-q120m after my sendmail_enable=YES and that didn't seem to work. I've tried adding the following to my .mc file, define( 'confMIN_QUEUE_AGE', '360m' ) to my mc files. I then typed, make, make install, make restart from command line and it doesn't seem to change the behavior. I'm sure this is a trivial config, but I'm a newbie at this and could use a little help.
