I would think that it would be similar to sending mail over an intermittent SLIP link. Sendmail is such a monster though, I don't want to get too deep if it has already been figured out. Are there any other tools that would do the job better? (easier, that is.) Retreiving mail from the internet host is really easy. All that has to be done is the mail spool file has to be downloaded and appended to the local FreeBSD spool file. This works fine, because you don't have to mess with sendmail. john
