Deferred mail sending
Hello, One of my ISP's SMTP server is now so overloaded that immediate sending of mails is no longer practical. I'm using deferred sending and ticking the Combined Delivery option in Account-Transport to regularly retry the send on the receive schedule. I'd like to de-couple the send and receive cycles. Some questions that I can't answer: 1. Assuming that I've not checked Combined Delivery when would a deferred mail be sent? (Other than manually) 2. What happens after a deferred mail send fails? !19/12/2002, 09:36:41: FETCH - Could not connect to the server !19/12/2002, 09:41:57: SEND - Server reports it is not ready, reply: - Will it try again? - If so, will it ever give up? Finally, another question associated with a melting ISP: I'd like to be flagged if a mail is received more than n minutes after creation time. I realize that there are issues with time-zones and the situation where I come back on-line after n minutes off-line, but I can live with them I guess.

(Other than manually) Never, unless you've periodically mail check activated. 2.

No. Not unless you check your mail again manually or the next periodically check is run. Finally, another question associated with a melting ISP: I'd like to be flagged if a mail is received more than n minutes after creation time. There's no such option I'm aware of. -- Pit Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I would suggest your own SMTP server then.
