It's OK, you are in good company.... others have done this also...
Let me make sure I understand you correctly:
You want to use PPP to connect to the world
You want to be able to send mail off-line and have PPP start via cron &
pure the mail q
You want to be able to download mail via cron
Does your ISP have pop3 support or imap?
If so, you can use PopOver.app to download mail & feed it to procmail.
Set the mail directory to
|/usr/local/bin/formail -e -s procmail
You can use this in yourprocmailrc file:
:0wfh *^From PopOver
| formail -I'From ' | formail
and that will recreate the 'From ' line and procmail can deliver the mail
(we can talk procmail later)
If you want help setting up sendmail, checkout this most helpful guide
http://brise.ere.umontreal.ca/~magnan/Sendmail/
(note: using this guide I was able to setup my config once and have used
it through 3 reinstalls... this past time I setup sendmail in less than 5
minutes),
ftp://ftp.next.peak.org/pub/next/apps/mail/sendmail.8.8.5.NIHS.bd.tar.gz
is the newest sendmail setup for NeXTStep/OpenStep.
As for PPP -- what version are you using? I am using ppp2.3 under NSFIP
and it hasn't crashed once...
Feel free to ask me more questions if I've missed something...
