I'm sure this isn't the correct place for this question, but I'm not =
sure where to go as I only use my FreeBSD Unleashed to admin my =
sendmail.=20

I'm a newbie at this and could use a little help.=20

I'm trying to configure sendmail, using the freebsd port, to only relay =
mail once a day (I hate emails every few minutes), and if possible to =
hold outbound mail in the que (I think there's some que) until some =
fixed time (like 7am) so that all my mail is transferred then.=20

I've tried adding:

#sendmail_flags=3D"-bp -q480m" and
#sendmail_flags=3D"-q120m"

after my=20

sendmail_enable=3D"YES"

and that didn't seem to work.=20

I've tried adding the following to my .mc file,=20

define( 'confMIN_QUEUE_AGE', '360m' )=20

to my mc files. I then typed, "make, make install, make restart" from =
command line and it doesn't seem to change the behavior.

I'm sure this is a trivial config, but I'm a newbie at this and could =
use a little help.=20


Thanks,
Jeff.
