That sounds like a reasonable idea, I'll give it a try.
but it looks like there might be an error because you kill the mail server and the set it on its way. Then immediately send an email, so the server might not be started up in time.
I think (I'm probably wrong) that when I piped directly into mail, mail must have opened a connection to the mail server at that point, so killing mail after that broke things. I'm pretty sure that mail is up by the time the script finishes (indeed I added a "postqueue -f" to start processing any backlog, which would have complained if postfix was not up by that point but did not).
