Ok, I should read _more_ docs, but I already spent sime time looking for this.
Delivery of my previous posting took a lifetime, most with the modem leds off. Isn't it possible to tell smail (or any other substitute for it) to start contacting "simultaneously" ALL of the e-mail addresses in the TO: and CC: fields of outgoing messages instead of doing them one after the previous delivery is _completed_? Currently at the first address giving timeout problems [dns I suppose] smail stops delivery, it doesn't go on trying with the following addresses. Issuing things like 'runq m0xJl8X-000A8aC' results in things like this line in /var/log/smail/logfile (and ps -ax says no sendmail is running): 10/10/1997 18:08:28: open_spool: /var/spool/smail/input/0xJl8X-000A8aC: lock_fd() failed: Try again THANK YOU!
