I already setup a PPP connection using a modem with SIM868 chipset following the description I found in this link How to access the Internet using GSM / GPRS Modem, to send emails by modem.
Everything works ok , I senr an email using Sendmail and it looks Ok. The problem start when I used the command sudo rfkill block wifi to disable WIFI and to try on PPP alone. When I tried to send an email I got in /var/log/postfix/mail.log status=deferred and the email doesn't go through. I found a workaround that it is to restart the postfix service and then restart the PPP (using sudo pon rnet) too, but now every time I switch between PPP and WIFI I have to restart postfix and PPP.
Someone knows what happened? or know a more elegant solution instead of restart both.
