Hey guys,
I know there must be a bunch of these out there, but there's always
a problem with signal-to-noise for this kind of question.
I have a laptop, from which I would like to be able to send mail
whenever I feel like it. This laptop is only occasionally
connected to the internet, and has very low resources (so memory
resident daemons are less favourable).
So what I'm looking for is a program that acts like 'sendmail' (so
that I can send email from mutt), and when it gets mail to send it
stores it in a queue.
When I'm connected to a network, I can then manually dump the queue
onto the smtp server *of my choice*, since the server would very
depending on where I'm plugged into.
Some kind of command like:
$ sudo dump_all_mail_to smtp.wherever.i.am.net
Does such a program exist? Really I'm just looking for something
like ssmtp, but with a queue.
most mtas (postfix, sendmail, and exim for sure) have multiple ways
of being called. One of which is a "send your queue and die" mode.
pick an mta and read the docs.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Tom
