Hi
It's about 17 years since I last did serious unix systems
programming, so I am a bit rusty.
As I travel about various conferences, they often have wireless
networks, and I can download my emails into Eudora. However, I
couldn't easily send emails, because access is restricted to avoid
spam.
However, I found I could use the unix part of OSX to set up my mac as
an SMTP (send mail) server while I am away.
Just type 'sudo postfix start' in Terminal and you're away. Great!
What I've recently found is that if I am not actually online (but
postfix is running) then Eudora thinks it has sent mail, but postfix
doesn't actually send it. In fact, even after I get online again,
postfix doesn't send it. In one case, it took a month.
So, my questions for the geeks:
- how can I tell what is queued in postfix?
- how can I get postfix to send my queued mail when it gets online?
Cheers
Rob
