If you have the source on your BSD system look at /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/contrib/etrn.pl - which is a perl script that you could probably tack onto that customers login script etc. Versions on exist for NT and other platforms - try hunting around with altavista.digital.com ;-) Regards, Karl Pielorz Chris Shenton wrote: > [snip] > > Problem is when they connect, I don't know how to get them to signal > sendmail to run the queue and flush mail to them. > > [snip] > > Any pointers appreciated.
