Hi!
This is my first posting to this mailing list.
Me and some of my collegues have a certain problem.
All of us have a dial up connection to the Internet
but different providers.
The problem: Normally mails are written offline.
If one has more than one mail to write, it is
needed to send them right after finishing
writing. Unfortunately they are instantly
"frozen", cause exim cannot find a connection
to the mail server given in the configure file.
The only solution we have found is to set
lookuphost:
driver = lookuphost
transport = remote_smtp
instead of
#send_to_gateway:
# driver = domainlist
# transport = remote_smtp
# route_list = "* mail.s.netic.de byname"
for this, mails are queued and not frozen.
Unfortunately not all ISPs allows to deliver mail
such way....
Is there any way to tell exim, that it is "normal"
that the mail server isn't available not all the
time, so mails become queued any way?
Thank you very much for any help!
KEEP HACKING!
