#if your grepping for SENDMAIL its moved to ..... ;-)
back to my original concern
SENDMAIL_TYPE="yes" SENDMAIL_SMARTHOST="smtp:connix.com" SENDMAIL_LOCALHOST="localhost Serina" SENDMAIL_RELAY="" SENDMAIL_ARGS="-bd -q30m -om"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Remove the -q30m parameter. further info from the SDB: http://localhost/sdb/en/html/smt_sendmail.html There are one or two more articles; just search for sendmail and look for the obvious. ;-) My settings look the same.
SENDMAIL_EXPENSIVE="yes" SENDMAIL_NOCANONIFY="yes" # /etc/hosts as described for SENDMAIL_NOCANONIFY. For most # people using dial on demand SENDMAIL_NOCANONIFY should work. SENDMAIL_NODNS="yes" SENDMAIL_DIALUP="yes" SENDMAIL_GENERICS_DOMAIN="connix.com"
Do you see anything that would casue my mail to be delivered immediatly rather than getting "deferred mode sendmail -q"
The problem is when I send a mail it triggers my dod script for wvdial and then times out before ppp is fully up. Ideally I'd like to run sendmail -q via cron and have that trigger my dod script. Which I would do a seperate script
there is /etc/ppp/ip-up. (to be more precise, there is a ip-up.local, but I started to have a modified ip-up before that...) Never the less, look into that file, there are "case" structures "case ppp" and below that "case ip-up". Put your "sendmail -q" in there (and also the fetchmail call to fetch your mail) and be happy. To trigger the connection, let cron "ping -c1 www.cia.gov" (that's what they are good for) or any other host of your choice.
like getmail
wvdial sleep 90 sendmail -q
any ideas on this. Many thanks for the insight on the new location of sendmail variables
