- You have two choices (to my knowledge). You can modify sendmail.cf to initiate
- transfers at the moment you send each mail message as documented in "Network
- and System Administration" -OR- you can read the man page on cron and add an
- entry to /etc/crontab.local to run uucico at some interval (also see "NaSA").
