Re: If exim is run from inetd what happens to queued outgoing mail?

Alternatively, you can just comment out the line in inetd.conf, then do an
/etc/init.d/exim start to run Exim as a standalone daemon (as I do).

There is an /etc/cron.d entry in my exim installation, automatically
created, which runs exim every so often.

It will be queued, and the next queue-runner (see /etc/cron.d/) will
try to deliver it again, if the retry time has passed, until the
limit is reached (see /etc/exim.conf - retry configuration).

If exim is run from inetd what happens to queued outgoing mail?

2001-01-19 Thread Scott V. McGuire 
The exim start up script in /etc/init.d doesn't start exim as a daemon
if it finds exim will be run from inetd.  In that case, what will
happen to outgoing mail if it can't be delivered right away?  For
instance if my internet connection goes down for a while.

Thanks,
