Is there an > easy way of doing this? queue the mail, dont attempt delivery? in /etc/sendmail.cf replace 'Odbackground' with 'Odqueued' [sendmail p503]. invoke /usr/sbin/sendmail with a '-q1h' to specify the a periodic delivery interval. (or use m for minutes, h for hours. 1 is the number of units: hours or minutes) [sendmail p259]. if you upload mail, irregularly use '/usr/sbin/sendmail -q' each time that you connect. > Is there a book out there that explains this? sendmail by bryan costales, o'reilly & assoc. nearly 800 pages.
