I am using postfix on SuSE 8.1 with a dial-up connection. At present when I go online it sends and fetches mail. I can then cause mail to be sent with 'sendmail -q' and I have found some info on automating this. What I haven't been able to do is find info on getting the fetching of mail to happen periodically (say every 5 or 10 minutes) as long as I am connected. How would I set this up?
Configure fetchmail to fetch your mail and deliver it locally. Maybe you have it already done. Start it at ipup with "fetchmail --daemon seconds". End it at ipdown with "fetchmail --quit". -- Andreas
