I went and uncommented the last two lines shown here that are in /etc/ppp/ip-up
#maybe you want to start some mail services: #set follow variables in /etc/rc.config # SENDMAIL_TYPE="yes" # SENDMAIL_SMARTHOST="smtp:mailserver.myisp.net" # SENDMAIL_ARGS="-bd -om" # SENDMAIL_EXPENSIVE="yes" # SENDMAIL_NOCANONIFY="yes" /usr/bin/fetchmail -a -v >>/var/log/fetchmail 2>&1 & /usr/sbin/sendmail -q &
The uncommented lines are exactly as shown in ip-up. I still have to run the commands fetchmail and sendmail by hand to get anything to go in or out, but they are both already running as daemons.
Actually, my fetchmail seems to be working fine, I just had to change the poll time. I still can't get sendmail to send my mail right away. What I would like it to do is: 1. When I am offline simply spool the mail till the next time I connect, if I am offline it is usually for a reason and I don't want a connection initiated. 2. When I an online send my mail as soon as I hit <control>X (I am using pine). Is there a way I could do this? I know I can do it some how with the settings in /etc/rc.config, but what would be a good way of doing this? Once again, Thank you all for the help. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
