Why don't you just export the data from your module to a buffer that can be accessed in user space (via relayfs perhaps) and then have a process in userspace that periodically selects() on the buffer (which is probably a file) and sends out an email to the ``user specified mail-id")? Having a mailer daemon inside the kernel, would at best, be described as a bizarre feature. ./hareesh -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
