Re: Manage QMail Queue manually
I'm hope some of the gurus here will let me know if this is a bad idea, but perhaps you could delete the /var/qmail/queue/lock/trigger file? I read in Dave Sill's excellent "Life with qmail" that qmail doesn't react immediately when this file isn't correct, and will instead sweep through the queue every 30 minutes. And then you could use a script to send qmail-send a SIGALRM whenever the router comes up, to get it to start sending mail. Just throwing this out as an idea - have no idea how smart it really is.

My purpose is send mail not immediately, but I would that the messages stay in the queue for a few time. I would that when a ISDN router comes up, the "E-Mail start". In actual scenario, every time that I send a message the router comes up!!! I'm looking for an option like "-q15m" of sendmail. Best Regards, P.S. Sorry, but my English is not very well.

There may be many other ways indeed, but what is the problem with the solution Dave has proposed? I use it every day, since that's how I send my e-mail to my ISP's mail exploder. []s, Roger...
