Hi, installed <#user-content-msmtpq-enqueue>msmtpq-enqueue and msmtpq-flush from https://gitlab.com/lxkl/msmtpq and set in the .sup/config.yaml :sendmail: "/usr/local/bin/msmtpq-enqueue -oem -ti" Twice a day, the emails are sent by a cron job, once a day they are collected: 11 11 * * * /usr/bin/offlineimap >/dev/null 2>&1 16 16 * * * /usr/local/bin/msmtpq-flush >/dev/null 2>&1 10 10 * * * /usr/local/bin/msmtpq-flush >/dev/null 2>&1 This way, my emailing now is discontinuous; 'chat'-like conversations are avoided.
