Sending mail offline:
- install the smail package
- configure as internet host system (*don't* use satellite system)
with smarthost (if you want to use it)
- your mails will automatically be queue if you're offline (use mailq
to look into the queue)
- if you go online run the runq command to tell smail to send its queue
Reveiving mail from pop account:
- install the fetchmail package
- run fetchmail while being online, fetchmail will delivers new mail
messages to your local mailbox (/var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME)
