Sure it's possible - there are probably several ways to get it done. The way I'd do it (old hacker that I am) is by using uucp. I've been a sysadm in the past (when uucp was the only way to do it) and I'm sure I'd have it working quickly. I'd have trouble describing the steps to you via e-mail, though - and I'm sure there are modern ways of doing this that someone will share. If not, dselect the uucp package, do a man uucp, and start an off-line e-mail dialog with me - we'll make it happen. BTW, if the machine which supplies your mail connection is non-unix/linux/solaris/hpux I'm afraid uucp won't work for you. > I know How to use pine so I would like to use that as a >reader/composer ... what would I need to install to read/compose mail off >line and then send it in the middle of the night...
