When courier receives mail it will try and send it immediately. If that fails then the retries are controlled by the files esmtpdelay, retryalpha, retrybeta, retrygamma, and retrydelta. You can find out about how these work
This is what I have curently and it fils up my logfiles, if I use a login manualy. Dial-Out on deman is no option, because the IDLE-Time of my ppp-Box. So I like to collect the Mails once per hour and at the same time I like to fetch my mails.
in the courier man page ("man courier"). You could put a bigger number into retryalpha than your delay between dial-ups (1 hour you said) and then courier would only try to send the mail once. But I don't know of a way to have it not try to send at all. You could try putting a '0' into some of those files but I have no idea what would happen. Sam?
For some days there was a Topic "Courie on Dial-Out" or somting like this, Ans the answer was use "/usr/sbin/courier flush"...
Which mean, that I can stop the delivery to the ISP SMTP-Relay.
OK, if I set the delay to one year for example, I can flush whenever I want, but, I think, there must be an option, which I have not found.
We do the same thing here - cron jobs to dial-up regularly and flush the courier queue and I know that you will get error messages in the logs for every mail that is deferred because courier can't send it to the smtp relay, but you shouldn't get error emails from courier. Do you mean that courier is sending "mail delayed" and "mail undeliverable" messages? These can be
^^^^^^^^^^^^ Yes it is !!! Courie sends me for each Mail which is in the queue a message... I think, I have around 120 per day...
controlled by the "warntime" and the "queuetime" files. (See the courier man page again.)
OK, I will look for it.
I'm not sure if any of this answers your questions but if not then write again and we'll try and do better! :-)
Yes, I will try it out.
