smail: either wait or run runq manually
I upgraded libc6_2.1, libwraster1, xlib6g from potato so I could upgrade
to wmaker_0.60. While I was at it I upgraded gnome to the latest in potato.
After that, I ran fetchmail, then tried to get my mail using Netscape.
Netscape told me I didn't have any new messages. After 5 or 10 minutes,
the mail appeared. I didn't have this problem prior to the upgrade.
I can get my mail right away if I run "runq", so I think the problem is
that smail is queing the mail instead of running in foreground, but I
can't find where the delivery_modes is set. I looked at the
/etc/smail/config file but didn't see it there. Tried adding it but that
didn't help. Looked at /etc/smail/crontab, I don't want to screw with
queing.
Hmmm. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.
