I just had to change from cable modem to dial-up, and I'm having problems getting sendmail to run my mail out from Mutt to the outter world.
It seems that when I'm not connected to the net via pppd, Mutt sends my mail to my sendmail daemon, but then it's like ... gone. The daemon is set to spool out mail every 25 minutes (Slack 9.1 default rc.sendmail script). So, I dunno... if I'm not connected at the time I send from Mutt, I have no idea where the mail goes and when or if it gets sent out.
I tried add these lines to my sendmail.mc config:
define(`confCON_EXPENSIVE',`True')
define(`SMTP_MAILER_FLAGS',`e')}
But, when I did a fetchmail, it got all my mail and dumped it into /var/spool/mqueue where I have yet been able to retreive it. There is sits. Incoming mail should be delivered to recipients, not queued. Outgoing mail should be queued until a connection is established and then it should be sent.
How do I do that with sendmail? Anyone know?
Thanks.
