We have xmail 0.74 in small office environment (25 users). We have an on-demand dial-up connection to internet for server to send/receive to outside world and for users to have inet access. We want to implement a dial-in capability using the same phone line. However, the way sendmail is set up is that it is running as daemon and sends when there is demand and checks on a 15m interval. This ties up the phone line and prevents dial-in use. How can we set up sendmail (xmail) to send and receive say once per hour and to queue all outbound (external) mail in the mean time (local mail delivery as usual). Is using cron the way to do this?
