Hi Folks,
before I ask: Thanks. You did a great job documenting the bells and
whistles, as well as showing the gory details. Again, thanks to all of
you who ever did a single line of documentation.
Now for some wishes:
above said FAQ 8.19 is missing the following hints. Just put them in:
After the paragraph
<<Quote>>
... If you've chosen to use user-ppp, you can automatically fetch your
mail when a connection to the 'net is established with the following
entry in /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup:
MYADDR:
!bg su user -c fetchmail
<<Quote ends>>
Insert something like
<<New>>
If you are using sendmail (as shown below) to deliver mail to
non-local accounts, put the command
!bg su user -c sendmail -q
after the above shown entry. This forces sendmail to process your
mailqueue as soon as the connection to the 'net is established.
<<new ends>>.
Also, some pointers to sendmail information inside this FAQ would help
-- I still cannot figure what the shown .mc would do.
Best regards
