Have a look at a different MTA, masqmail is designed for dialup-connections: Description: A mailer for hosts without permanent internet connection MasqMail is a MTA (mail transport agent) and POP3 client for hosts that don't have a permanent internet connection, eg. a home network or a single host at home. It has special support for connections to different ISPs, and will work nicely along with the masqdialer. . In these cases, MasqMail is a slim replacement for full-blown MTAs such as sendmail, exim, qmail or postfix. The POP3 client can be a small replacement for other full-featured tools like fetchmail. Additionally, the configuration is very easy. CU Thimo -- Thimo Neubauer <thimo@debian.org> Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 frozen! See http://www.debian.org/ for details
