Then the dialup script (or something like this) sends >the queued mails when connecting to the net. This is the default setup on Debian machines. (It's not hard; if you have a reasonable MTA then it will deal with not being able to contact remote hosts right away. The only `special' handling you need is to flush the mail queue from your ip-up script.) I used to have exactly this problem; I got some advice a couple of years ago from Kai (I think) which solved it for me. Unfortunately I stopped using the Agent in the meanwhile so I can't work out what the solution was. >(That's how my Postfix setup works -- I use laptop-net to find out >whether there is a net connection. But I still use the Agent to >queue mails inside Gnus -- that seemed to be easier to do.) I think there ought to be an option to control whether or not the agent should queue mail--it seems easy to add, and it's clearly useful. -- Gaute Strokkenes http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~gs234/ HOW could a GLASS be YELLING??
