Subject: [gentoo-user] Simple SMTP queue for a laptop

1 Hey guys,
2
3 I know there must be a bunch of these out there, but there's always a problem
4 with signal-to-noise for this kind of question.
5
6 I have a laptop, from which I would like to be able to send mail whenever I feel
7 like it. This laptop is only occasionally connected to the internet, and has
8 very low resources (so memory resident daemons are less favourable).
9
10 So what I'm looking for is a program that acts like 'sendmail' (so that I can
11 send email from mutt), and when it gets mail to send it stores it in a queue.
12
13 When I'm connected to a network, I can then manually dump the queue onto the
14 smtp server *of my choice*, since the server would very depending on where I'm
15 plugged into.
16
17 Some kind of command like:
18
19 $ sudo dump_all_mail_to smtp.wherever.i.am.net
20
21 Does such a program exist? Really I'm just looking for something like ssmtp,
22 but with a queue.
23
24 Any ideas?
25
26 Thanks!
