I don't know if you can do it with SMAIL, but there is a mini-howto on how to do this with SENDMAIL -- The title is something about "sendmail" and "queueing". I set it up once long ago and haven't touched it since (so I've long since forgotten the name of the howto I used), but it walks you through customizing the sendmail.cf file so the mail is queued and then only delivered when sendmail "runs the queue". I set up my system so that sendmail does not run the queue when I'm not connected to the Internet. When I connect to the Internet, sendmail is stopped and then started with the necessary parameters to run the queue (-q10) every 10 minutes. Frank
