Sendmail's default behavior is to attempt immediate delivery when the mail is initially sent. If that is unsuccessful, then it will try again every 15 minutes until successful or when it times out. If you're currently not connected when finishing a piece of e-mail, then that first attempt will simply fail without incident and remain queued till later. The retry interval can also be changed or eliminated completely by the command line that invokes sendmail (most likely in your rc.inet script(s)). When you actually go online, you could force sendmail to attempt delivery of its entire queue; if I remember right, you would say 'sendmail -q' to do this. -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Moore [mailto:w1gm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, January 31, 2001 6:39 AM To: speakup at braille.uwo.ca Subject: RE: E-mail - clients & transporters Steve, While on the topic of sendmail, I have a dial-up account, and I need to be connected in order for sendmail to send messages from pine. Is there a way to configure sendmail to queue the messages and send them when I next connect?
