py-mailqueued

=============

py-mailqueued is an ansynchronous daemon for sending or queueing mail,

depending on the state of the network. It's primary advantage is that it always

sends mail immediately if the network is up, and queues only if the network is

down.

It currently only supports using NetworkManager over dbus to query the network

status. This has the advantage that most Linux desktop/laptop setups use

NetworkManager and dbus, and isn't bound to silly tricks like pinging (which

make be blocked by a proxy or firewall) or resolving a hostname (which is

not guaranteed to work). It also means that the daemon switches modes as soon

as NetworkManager switches to or from full network access. The downside is of

course that NetworkManager must be managing all of your network interfaces.

Usage

=====

This package requires systemd to run. You're welcome to use it without systemd,

but I'm not intrested in supporting any other init system. Sorry.

This package also requires that you use NetworkManager. This should cover most

systems that realistically need a mail-queueing daemon. I might take patches to

support other clients if they have dbus interfaces.

This first thing you'll need to do is enable the daemon:

.. code-block:: sh

    systemctl --user daemon-reload

    systemctl --user start mailqueued

    systemctl --user enable mailqueued

Once that's done add 'mail-queue' to the front of your normal mailer command

(tested with msmtp):

.. code-block:: sh

    /bin/mail-queue /bin/msmtp --account=myaccount -t

And that's it. Mail will be sent when generated if the network is up, and

queued when it is not
