sending mail : how does it work ???
Hi,
I would like to know : How my mail are sent ????
On my system, I have sendmail and fetchmail installed. procmail package is installed but
I am not sure that it run (I can't see procmail when I do a ps -a).
If I am offline and I send mail, they are save in /var/save/mqueue.
What soft have to send them when I am on-line ? (procmail ?) How does it know if it can send
the messages ? Can I lost the message if I disconnect while this mysterious software is
sending the messages ?
As you can see, I am far away from being a linux guru !!! So, any help would be appreciated.
(You can point me to clear and simple documentation).
Thanks
Franck
