postfix keeps mail in the spool for five days by default. since i also have a couple of machines on permanent connections, i decided to use TLS-based certificate relay authentication and simply relay my mail through a machine in philadelphia whenever and whereever i am. a simply queue flush everytime i am connected, and this has no need to be automagic ;) -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:"; net@madduck "those who are faithful know only the trivial side of love: it is the faithless who know love's tragedies." -- oscar wilde
