Hello,

since I live mobil I have a secial requirement because sending several 500-1000 messages per day over GSM/EDGE does not realy work...

So I have:

1) Local network with a full "courier" which act as outgoing smtp-relay 2) Laptop using "courier-mta" 3) 6 ISP's in DE, FR, TR, MA, IR and US

What I need:

1) "courier" is accepting all messages from the local network and spool it for 7 days... After this time a messages is sent to the sender.

2) If I connect my Laptop to the local network, the "courier" should flush its queue to the "courier-mta" on the laptop which should be configured as smarthost for the "courier" in the local network. Also it receive automaticaly messages from my ISP's MX.

3) Fetching the message from ISP accounts is no problem since it is done "per user" and will be pulled using a script directly into the users Maildir on the "courier" server.

4) If I come back from the "Internet Cafe", the Latops "courier-mta" should flush its queue to the local "courier"...

Maybe I will eliminate the script used in (3) and push the messages from fetchmail directly into the Laptops "courier-mta"

The number (1) is working properly.

So now I have some problems:

A.a) I have problems on my laptop with the "courier-mta" accepting messages as smarthost from "courier" (local net). It should ACCEPT ALL messages and queue them for 10 days.

A.b) I have (on my laptop) setup /etc/courier/esmtpauthclient with mx.freenet.de:587 <user_name> <passwd> But it seems not to work, even if I send a messages local from mutt. (currently I am using again "ssmtp")

B) How to configure my local "courier" that it use my laptop "courier-mta" exclusivly for ALL outgoing messages except my own domain (which is send directly over GSM/EDGE) as smarthost?

C) What must I use for a string in my fetchmailrc that it use the "courier-mta" instead of "procmail"? The current string is: mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T"
