the sendmail daemon can be set up with queueing - meaning send out mail every x minutes.
How? Presumably it can also be configured to send mail immediately... How?
I'm afraid the contents of the .cf files are hieroglyphics to me.
I came late to this project and this was already set up when I arrived, but as far as I can tell, there has been no customisation done to sendmail - it's all 'out of the box'. There is next to nothing in the sendmail.mc and submit.mc files, and they and the .cf files are all quite old, so presumably the first build.
That link says:
When I ran
(I assumed the "q" meant "query") it replied:
To me, this seems intentional. But how?
It looks like the email is sent to the localhost over the loopback interface and is accepted, then it sits there waiting for a timer to run out before it gets sent on to the Exchange server and actually delivered.
Thanks
