Are you sure that the configuration of the 7206 would let it forward packets from the other network? Perhaps it only knows about it's attached network (212.174.112/?) and it is refusing to let out packets whose source address is from the 212.174.232.0/24 network? Your situation sounds a little more complicated than mine. I have a single firewall with a private IP DMZ. Real IPs from each of the attached networks are assigned to the firewall, ports are forwarded as needed and the ip rules dictate that traffic from a given internal server be masqueraded as a specific IP and routed out a specific gateway. In all cases the default route is a single hop. -- fraser campbell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> starnix inc. tollfree: (905) 771-0017thornhill, ontario, canada http://www.starnix.com/ professional linux services & products -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: virtual pop login
Linuxconf gives these users ids and stores the information in /etc/vmail/passwd.virtualhostname, /etc/vmail/alias.virtualhostname, and /etc/vmail/shaddow.virtualhostname. I believe the user is to login with for example netscape or some other email client, the server would recognize the user by its username and domain. So you can have a user [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED], both have login joe but are two separate email accounts.

virtual pop login
Has anyone gotten virtual email working with linuxconf and sendmail? My system is set up to sort out the virtual emails, but I cannot log in to the system with the virtual user. Each domain has a passwd file, so it looks like when I login, it doesn't look in those files. When a user logs in to check their email I would like to have it check /etc/passwd and /etc/aliases, and if the user/password isn't in their it will look in the /etc/vmail/passwd.VIRTUALHOST and /etc/vmail/aliases.VIRTUALHOST files. I just don't know what to do to get this to work, I have tried everything I can think of. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Matt
