Hello freebsd-questions,

I need a way that sendmail starts "fetchmail" to get mails first
before sending them out.

Is there a way to start a userdefined application before sending out a
mail in sendmail?

It would be great to read some impressions because I did not found a
solution at the moment.

I am thinking about a crontab that starts fetchmail only if there is
something in the mailqueue, so it enables ppp -nat -auto, fetches the
mail and then sendmail -q. But i do not know how to find out if there
is no mail at the moment and if this is a useful general idea or not.

Is, is there no better way? event-oriented processing?
A configure option anywhere in sendmailc.cf? I have searched in the
dox but I did not found anything yet.
