Why not use ESTMP ETRN service of Sendmail or Postfix? Why the complicated setup? If you setup the mailer daemon to route mail to the other places and it can't connect it will queue....when the other place connects and it becomes live it can send an ETRN command for the domains/destinations it's interested in and get a nearly immediate start of dequeueing....
The only disadvantage to that is you cannot easily detect when it's done transferring.


Another is to use BSMTP or UUCP. There are methods for this. Just have to find the one that fits for you.

Hello,

I have a small problem with the planning of my CyberCenter:

In Strasbourg I have a Virtual-Webserver with the 'www' Host and the
'strasbourg' Host. The internet connectivity is quiet well...

This Server is in the same time the Router/Firewall and has 3 NIC's.
(external interface, admin-net and public-net with all the Workstations)

Internal I have a nfs-Server where my Clients have a little Diskspace
(50 MByte) for Web (~/public_html) and Mail (~/Maildir). The Server is
running courier-(imap,mta) and apache.

Then I have in different villes/countries POP's (other CyberCenters)
which have its own nfs-Servers.

So I have following public:

www.ccenter.org         Main Web-Server
strasbourg.ccenter.org  nfs/apache/courier-Server where clients have:
                        E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
                        Web:    strasbourg.ccenter.org/~client/
utopia.ccenter.org      same as 'strasbourg'

Now the Problem:

The internet connectivity is in some locations only V.90 or ISDN, so
Web/Mail-Services are not possible permanently.

Solution:

All Web/Mail-Activity is routet via Strasbourg...

OK, I can poll the Problem-POP's through a squid-cache using wget...

But HOW ?

...and if I collect the Mail in Strasbourg, how can I send it effectif
to Problem-POP's ?

I was thinking on collecting Mails and put it onto a shttp-cgi, which
tar it up after a wget-request (e.g. all 30 minutes). Then on the
Problem-POP it will decompressed and forward all Messages to procmail...

Any suggestions ?


Thanks Michelle

P.S.:   The Location is Ercec (Turkey) and Khoy (Iran) and there is
        nothing !
