Now, I would like to use the local mail delivery systems (sendmail, and /var/mail). In my ideal situation, I would send mail via sendmail, and read mail with mutt or whatever. Whenever I dialup, sendmail would send all the queued mail, and some daemon would fetch my mail from my ISP's POP3 server, and deliver it to the users. Now, I can't get sendmail and the fetcher daemon (If there is one) to try every 5 minues or so, since trying to load something from the net triggers and outgoing connection. Is there some way to achieve what I want? I've read the mail section in Greg Lehey's book, but it only provides a general outline of how the mail system works, and doesn't mention a configuration like this. Neither does the handbook. So, has anyone here have an idea how I could try something like this? Or has maybe someone set up something similar? TIA, Oren Sarig sarig@bezeqint.net.il PS The handbook mentions I could turn to a company to provide a secondary MX for me, but apparently this costs money, which I wouldn't want to spend. I could just stick with netscape for mail if I must. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
