i think the idea is that you keep using your email as before--except you won't receive any from outside while the connection is down, of course. but you can keep sending new mails & replying to old ones w/o thinking about the ISP state. once it's up again, all the qued stuff gets sent out.
You can do that with email clients, such as Seamonkey or Thunderbird. Just set them to off line mode and they'll save the messages until the server is available. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

of course. the OP was talking about a "home network," and i don't know how extensive that is. this funny mail setup is meant for larger operations, i believe. for a family situation, i personally wouldn't think of going thru' all the trouble; but it can be done. i did it once for a small office setup with 8 or 10 workstations. at that time we had only slow & costly dial-up connections, and this sendmail setup worked pretty well. whenever the server was connected to the outside world new mail came in & qued mail was sent out. people came to work at their workstations and didn't have to worry if or when an internet connection would be there. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
