I'm using qpopper with FreeBSD 2.1.5, with a permanent connection to Internet. When, because of telephone problems, Internet is not reachable, if I send mails over Internet using Eudora and qpopper, popper hangs. Probably it's sendmail that hangs waiting for the connection to the remote system. I would like to send all the mail to the popper box, without caring if Internet is up or down at the moment (the box should try later). Should I recompile qpopper adding some switches (send in background) to the sendmail exec or is there some other simpler way to do it? Tonino
