I have configured as mentioned in your article, however, assuming i keep my linux machine on 24/7, running sendmail -q1h will do? i read in man pages that, running sendmail with q argument puts it in background, does it mean, it will be run every one hour.
secondly if , next hour, sendmail is run, and my link to ISDN is down, then it shouldn't destroy the queue. -kvs ----- Original Message ----- From: "Suresh Ramasubramanian" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, December 10, 2001 2:25 AM Subject: [LIH] Re: just one small thing for sendmail > +++ kvs [linux-india] <10/12/01 15:34 -0800>: > > my sendmail server is running in LAN where > > internet connection is through ISDN > > when the link is down, (we usally dont use inet, during afternoon hours, say > > 12 to 4) sendmail is not allowing to send the mails. > > You have to queue the mail using > > > confCON_EXPENSIVE HoldExpensive [False] Avoid connecting immediately > > set this to true in sendmail.mc ... see http://www.hserus.net/sendmail.html > for a sendmail config suitable for dialups / isdn or other non-permanent > hosts. > > > I have gone through the article in pcquest, but at last > > the author suggested to run the command sendmail -q5m > > when the ppp goes up and /sbin/sendmail -q1h when the ppp goes down. > > How can i do this to my lan as it is not on PPP. > > Processing the queue every 1h assumes you dial out every one hour ... > > PPP, ISDN, it doesn't matter ... just that /usr/sbin/sendmail -q is run every > 1 hour instead of every 5 minutes. > > -- > Suresh Ramasubramanian <----> mallet <at> efn dot org > EMail Sturmbannfuhrer, Lower Middle Class Unix Sysadmin > > _______________________________________________ > linux-india-help mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help > _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
