Very Computer

I just installed Suse 8.0 on my laptop (going real smooth so far). There's
this minor but irritating thing I can't find a solution for though:
When I had Suse 7.3 I used sendmail to send mail. As far as I remember, but
I'm not sure, I had the command /usr/lib/sendmail -q entered in the Kmail
configuration window. That way messages were sent out right after pushing
the send button. Now, for some reason it doesn't accept the -q option.
Without the -q option, I still need to give a sendmail -q on the
commandline to really send out messages.

Can someone tell me what to do to send messages without needing to give
sendmail -q ??

Thanks!

0-59/1 * * * * [ -x /usr/sbin/sendmail ] && /usr/sbin/sendmail -q

to your crontab (crontab -e)? It should look at mails to send every
minute and send them.

You could also add "-q20s" to the SENDMAIL_ARGS variable and your
mailqueue will be checked every 20 seconds for mails to send.

- You can start sendmail in daemon mode (see the Manual)
- You can add a line with 'sendmail -q' in /etc/ppp/ip-up.local if You send
mail exclusively via dial-in connections.
- You can start 'sendmail -q' with cron
