Subject: Backgorund sending

On UNIX PINE seems to wait for sendmail to return before letting you do
something else. This causes a real long delay for long mailing lists
involving many far away addresses. "enable-background-sending" provides
some relief for this, but you still can't compose (or do anything that
involves an implicit compose) until sendmail is done. Is there a way
around this?

Thanks, Ed

One solution that works pretty well is to use a fast SMTP server. For
example, you might have an SMTP server that does nothing but accept the
submission and relay it to another "smarter" SMTP server for delivery, or
somehow processes it separately for delivery. This allows you to avoid the
waits for DNS lookups that are typically being done by sendmail for each
RCPT command. One difference that users will see is that addressing errors
won't be noticed by the initial SMTP server so there is no immediate
interactive feedback for mistyped domain names, for example. Instead, the
error will come back in a mail message from the second stage of
processing. Some people consider this an advantage.

Hello !!!

I couldn't find any command in pine, but you have reconfigure sendmail,
that he will store his mails in his box and then he will send them after a
while!

								Bye.
