Ah, gotcha and point taken. On Wednesday 18 February 2009 17:50:14 Noel Jones wrote: > A policy server won't really help here. > OP should read up on the "at" command. Yes it will. At/cron still means the php app needs to queue, then it gets passed to the postfix queue. Extra overhead, copied content, multiple points of failure in the queueing, having to write logging and debugging for the queue (logging and debugging is already available in postfix queues). A policy server is made for: implementing policies that fall outside of the realm of the mailserver. Delaying mail is one of those policies, as the nature of a mailserver is to deliver mail as fast as possible. -- Melvyn Sopacua
