I'm running a recent version of IDA sendmail on a Sun 3/50.
For reasons I won't bore you with, I'd like to control the actions
of sendmail according to the time-of-day. What I need to do is
not initiate certain outgoing SMTP requests (even retries) for
specific times. The criteria could be priority, or maybe the
destination address (either host or user@host).

I was thinking of using a DBM file to map (say) "user@host"
onto a string like "MoTuWeThFr0800-1600" [or whatever, that's
not a problem].. Then in smtpinit() I would look up
user@host (is that available from smtpinit() ?) using mapkey(),
check the time (if present) against the wall clock, and defer
if required.

Does this sound reasonable, am I re-inventing a wheel ?

Any ideas/suggestions would be most welcome, if there's
interest, I'll summarise to the net.

Thanks.
