How can I best set up an smtp queuing system on either OS X server 10.4 or windows sbs 2003 in order to queue mail destined for a mail server at another location that has an intermittent connection? |

One) Intermittent connection? Up For an hour everyday around noon or something totallly random. Two) How much mail do you expect? 1 user? 100 users? BIG files or smal? |

The destination mail server's connection would be up almost permanently but may occasionally drop for an hour or maybe a day as happened recently. It could be handling mail for anything up to 50 users... maybe some big stuff too so I'd need a robust solution. |

Any SMTP server will hold mail for a configurable number of retries/time if the remote server can't be reached. I'd think you could accomplish this with Postfix, tweaking the backoff timers so that the delay between retries was more suitable for your situation. Maybe put something like this in main.cf: queue_run_delay = 180 minimal_backoff_time = 300 maximal_backoff_time = 3600 maximal_queue_lifetime = 259200 That would make postfix retry the SMTP connection no more than once every 5 minutes (300 seconds), but no less than every hour. It would also give messages 3 days before expriring as undeliverable should the connection not complete in that time. |
