Re: Install Mailsystem HELP!



did you try the -q and the -m options ???

here's how i'm using smail:

sendmail -bd -q30m

p.s.i think sendmail is a symlink to smail

-q[interval]
              Cause smail to process its input  spool  directory.
              If  an  interval  is  given,  smail will repeatedly
              check its input spool directory, sleeping  for  the
              given  interval between checks.  The interval is in
              seconds, though it can be defined as a sequence  of
              numbers  with  suffixes of `s' for seconds, `m' for
              minutes, `h' for hours, `d' for days, `w' for weeks
              and  `y' for years.  For example, -q2h30m specifies
              an interval of two hours and 30 minutes.  This flag
              is useful in conjunction with the -bd mode of oper-
              ation and will cause the daemon process to wake  up
              on  these  intervals  and perform queue processing.
              Performing a single queue run is the  default  mode
              of  operation  if  smail  is  invoked as runq.  Any
              parameters are used to match  message  ids  in  the
              queue, and those messages are processed.  If a mes-
              sage id is given, but the message  is  not  in  the
              queue  (due to a mistake or the message having been
              already delivered), then the parameter is  silently
              ignored.

-m or -om
              Allow retention of the sender as  a  recipient  for
              alias  and mailing list expansions that include the
              sender.  If this is Not set, the  sender  will  not
              receive  a  copy of the message only as a result of
              being in an alias or mailing list.
