It was already mentioned in a previous message that sendmail could be chosen as your default mail server. I do recall however, that a DNS lookup occurs when pine attempts to send mail even though the mail is handled by the local mail transport agent. I remember with my old dial-up it constantly rang up the internet connection every time I answered yes to the send mail prompt within pine. I never could figure out how to avoid that one. Another thing: add a line to your ip-up script like this: sendmail -q to force sendmail to attempt delivery of the accumulated messages. Otherwise you could wait the maximum interval sendmail uses for it to automatically resend mail without it. The script change will speed that up some. -----Original Message----- From: Tommy Moore [mailto:stp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, July 24, 2001 10:01 AM To: speakup at braille.uwo.ca Subject: Writing mail while offline. Hey guys. I know this can be done, but I don't know how to do this one. What I want to do is to be able to write mail to people while the modem isn't connected to the net and then when I do get the connection back up again I'd like the system to send out the mails that haven't been sent yet. Using pine for the mailer. Thanks. Tommy _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
