Hmm... not sure... the way it works is something like as follows: local mail command -> your local mail daemon -> isp mail daemon or isp mail command -> isp mail daemon -> your local mail daemon -> your local mail Also, you want your isp to mail you your IP address, right? There are two ways: 1. your isp mails it to your machine directly. both your machine and isp's need to have a mail server running 2. your isp mails it to your mailbox in www. isp needs a mail server running and you need a pop3/imap client to get your mail. I have postfix running in my dial-up machine and I can send mail to anyone with it. Artemio. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Uhm...there's way easier ways to do this, like http://dtdns.com/ Don't suffer, just use a working method :) Vox -- Think of the Linux community as a niche economy isolated by its beliefs.

Well, you can ask the admin to set a on-connection script to just be like: #!/bin/bash echo $YOUR_IP_ADDR | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] BTW, I have a dial-up connection too - I use KPPP that always shows my current IP address. > Errr... one more thing, it doesn't have qmail installed or neither sendmail > or any other mailserver package. Can bash'es mail command handle it? "mail" command usually needs /usr/sbin/sendmail to work. On my 9.2 machine I have /usr/sbin/sendmail soft-linked to /etc/alternatives/mta so it makes postfix handle things as I guess. Artemio. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
