Hi!

I use armailer and crontab to send out mass email at night works  
perfektly.

But i also have mail that i want to send immediatly, is there a way  
to say to armailer deliver at once. Or do i have to set ar\_sendmail -d  
5minutes  
or crontab ar\_sendmail -o every 5minutes. And what is best daemon or  
cron.

Thanks

Hi Mikael,

here is how you can have both queued mail and instant mail:

Check out point 3 specifically.

Bye,  
Tom
