Exim delay in accepting new mail from localhost
Due to my limited internet connection I can't peruse the Interweb at
the moment. I dial in to send and receive mail once or twice a day
until my new DSL line is active.
My mail server runs Exim in the smarthost configuration. All
non-local mail goes via my provider. Currently new message will have
to sit in the Exim queue until I manually make a connection.
When I compose and send a message in Mutt (which runs on the same
host as Exim) there is a delay of a couple of seconds before the
message is accepted by the mail server.
I'd like Exim to accept the message first and then attempt to
deliver the message to the next hop instead of accepting the message
after the delay (time out?).
Without the proper documentation exim.conf is enough of a mystery to
me that I don't know where to look. I would be much helped if
someone would provide me with some hints.
Thanks,
Bob
