As it turns out exim was already configured to do this. I just hadn't
given it a chance to prove itself.

Send off all postponed messages

2002-09-17 Thread Alex Polite

I regularly  deal with mail when I'm away from my DSL pipe. Right now
I'm at the coffee shop and the postponed messages are piling up. When
I get back to the office I'd like to be able to
send-all-postponed-messages.

You want the functionality of an outbox, I suspect. This is not what
postponed is meant for (and therefore, this functionality will most
probably will not be added to mutt).

What about installing a simple SMTP daemon on your machine, which will
relay your emails to your office's mailserver, once you're back online?

the trick is to send them all right away -
and tell your MTA to really send them away
as soon as you have an internet connection.
so this is an MTA configuration problem.

Some would say that this should be a function of your SMTP agent, not
your MTA. I think that, for once, I would agree. Set your MTA of choice
to queue outbound messages when you're off-line, and flush the queue
when you're on again.
