You might consider setting the queue_only_file option and then have your network up and down scripts create and remove a "flag" file. For example, set queue_only_file=/etc/exim4_queue_only And then write up some lines in /etc/network/interfaces to remove this file when the interface comes up and re-create it when it goes down. This way exim will attempt immediate deliveries when your link is up, but will just queue them for later delivery when your link is down. good times, Vineet > > I am using unstable + mutt + exim4 > > Thanx > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-request@lists.debian.org > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
