How to send a message after
Hi, Supose I'm supervising the qmail queue and see a message with (2 attachments of 2mb each for 5 different addresses). This message will consume a lot of my link, so I want to send this message during the night. How to do this? Best regards, Ari

You could always write a simple cronjob that would suspend qmail-send until an hour that you deem proper for sending such large emails and then have another cronjob that reactivates it at the specified time. This might involve control/concurrencyremote by setting the value to 0 and then HUP'ing qmail-send. I'm not qmail expert by any means but this might work.

There is a patch that allows you to start/stop delivery without restarting qmail, it's somewhere on www.qmail.org.

Re: How to send a message after
What ari appears to me to be asking for is a way to derail large e-mails into a secondary queue: He wants email to flow 24/z for little memos, but attachments above a threshold must wait until off-peak. A variety of approaches come to mind. Disabling _all_ outgoing e-mail until off-peak times is not one of them. Some point in the process must be selected for removal/insertion, and a size-based gateway installed there. Read your source code, Ari, I look forward to seeing your upcoming patch!

David, You are totally right: > What ari appears to me to be asking for is a way to derail large e-mails > into a secondary queue: He wants email to flow 24/z for little memos, > but attachments above a threshold must wait until off-peak. I'm using the qmail-hold patch, so I can create a control/holdremote (with 1), send HUP the qmail-send and the queue is paused. But at this time, all messages will be stopped. I would like to stop only the big one. Is it safetty to remove a message with this patch and when the queue is stopped? How do I return this message to the queue at 11pm for example? In december, users love to send Christmas cards, most of them very big attachments and addressed to more than one friend at the same time But other user needs to send a very important message, not so big, and his message will delay!!! I would like to decide which message should be send later!!! Regards, Ari - Original Message - From: David L.
