Really, you want the serialmail package, since you don't really want to deliver on a clock, you want to deliver when you're connected, which may be based on a clock or may not. Tell qmail to deliver all of the outgoing mail into a maildir by putting a catchall entry into virtualdomains. Then when you're dialed up, start maildirsmtp to pump out the messages, typically by running it at the end of the "ppp up" script. This is exactly the sort of application that maildirsmtp is intended for, and it works quite well. -- John R.

Re: Queueing remote deliveries at specific intervals (ala sendmail-q)?
Either you try to install the serialmail-package or just apply the holdremote patch found at the qmail-homepage, the second one to be very easy to configure. Just remove/add an /var/qmail/control/holdremote-file in your ip-up/ip-down-Skripts, give qmail-send a SIGHUP and you are gone. The advantage of the patch against serialmail is that while online mail will be automatically sent, whereas with serialmail I had to fiddle around with two different virtualdomain-files for the same intent.
