Hi all I have just got mutt & nullmailer working together so that my domain name, from address etc works but the nullmailer does not send the messages in its queue until I run nullmailer-send.
man nullmailer says... " When the program starts, the queue is scanned to build a list of messages to send. The queue is rescanned when either the trigger is pulled, or after pausetime seconds have elapsed after the last failed delivery. When there are no messages in the queue, nullmailer does no rescanning until the trigger is pulled. Pulling the trigger consists of opening up the trigger named pipe and writing a single byte to it, which causes this program to be awakened (if it's not already processing the queue). This procedure is done by nullmailer-queue to ensure that messages are delivered immediately. " " pausetime The number of seconds to pause between successive queue runs when there are messages in the queue (defaults to 60). If this is set to 0, nullmailer-send will exit immediately after going through the queue once (one-shot mode)." When I send with mutt the email appears in the queue /var/spool/nullmailer/queue and sits there unless I run as root nullmailer-send. e.g. casteret:/var/spool/nullmailer# nullmailer-send Rescanning queue. Starting delivery, 2 message(s) in queue. Starting delivery: protocol: smtp host: mail.myisp.net.au file: 1120910264.32083 smtp: Succeeded: 250 2.0.0 j69C6ZGZ032101 Message accepted for delivery Sent file. It seems that I have nullmailer-send running as daemon: casteret:/etc/init.d# ps ax | grep null 7855 pts/2 S 0:00 /usr/sbin/nullmailer-send -d 7856 pts/2 S 0:00 /usr/lib/nullmailer/smtp -d -s mail.myisp.net.au But I can wait and wait and it never sends..... I would like it to send as soon as a message gets into the queue when Im online.
