Thanks, Ross! Yes, technically speaking that would work, but I should have explained that I have a number of users on the system here, and everyone is using different mail clients. To make everyone's life as easy as possible, all mail is handled and distributed centrally by postfix. So everyone's mail client simply gets their incoming mail put into their inbox (or other folders as per individual procmail configuration), and all outgoing mail simply gets queued up and sent out together when the connection is up.
Kind regards, Helmut. -- +------------------------+ | Helmut Walle | | [email protected] | | +64-3-388 39 54 | +------------------------+ On Sat, 12 Mar 2011, Ross Drummond wrote: > On Saturday 12 March 2011, Helmut Walle wrote: >> can someone please help me with some conceptual advice?
