Automatic Email fetcher
It's 19 Jun 98 17:10:16, We'll return to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and All's discussion of Automatic Email fetcher ra Does anyone know of a program that will dial into an ISP (like maybe ra one specifies ppp1), initiate POP and SMTP downloads, and SMTP uploads, ra and after all such traffic has completed, drops the connection? ra I know what the steps are manually. But I want to setup a cron job ra that will do this for me, especially for those times when I have to ra spend a few days out-of-town. The asynchronous nature of some of these ra operations, is what's stopping me from doing it with a script file. You could probably cobble something up with diald and some clever ip-up scripting. The ip-up script would have to do the following: Run a fetch process to pick up your POP mail. Run sendmail -q to flush sendmail's queue. diald would be configured to bring up the interface at a specific time, or alternatively, a cron job triggers a dummy event that will initiate the connection (e.g. a one off ping). After traffic stups, diald will shut down the link after a specified idle time (and alternatively, it could be configured to shut down the link after a certain time, to handle the case of a connection "sticking" open. I haven't tried this, but it should work. ..

worng domain name in email header
It's 18 Jun 98 16:13:22, We'll return to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and All's discussion of worng domain name in email header rw I don't know if this a sendmail problem or network configuration rw problem. rw All mail that goes through my SMPT is referanced as rw (user)@office.ohiocounty.net it is supposed to be rw (user)@ohiocounty.net. If I try to send mail to an account with rw (user)@ohiocounty.net it gets returned to me (or whoever sends it). rw Even the mail daemon has an address of rw [EMAIL PROTECTED] rw any suggestion on this? By default, sendmail pulls out the hostname of the machine it's running on and puts it in the from: header. This is a common problem for dialup users who fetch mail from a POP server, or networks where you want mail to go to the domain, not the host. If you use Netscape locally, you can fix it in Netscape. If you use a shell based mail agent (e.g. elm, pine), you can get sendmail to masquerade as any domain you want. In /etc/sendmail.cf, there is a line to configure masquerading. Simply add the desired domain after this in the space provided for masquerading (the line beginning with DM) and remove any leading hash (#) to uncomment the line. DMohiocounty.net Also, you'll have to add ohiocounty.net to /etc/sendmail.cw, if you are running the machine as a mail server for a domain, so incoming mail to ohiocounty.net is treated as local mail. Finally, make sure you have the appropriate MX records in your DNS, so other hosts know where to send mail for your domain. Dialup users fetching mail won't need to to do the last two steps (since their isp will be holding the mail), but instead, should make sure important addresses such as MAILER-DAEMON and root aren't masqueraded (don't want to go impersonating your ISP, do you? :) ). There is a space provided for this, which should be easily found from the comments in sendmail.cf.

SMPT: We do not relay.
It's 17 Jun 98 11:32:40, We'll return to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and All's discussion of SMPT: We do not relay. lo It seems you have some anti spam rules engaged on your system, there lo is already a quite nice email in my box from this list explaining what lo it is so I'll skip over that. (Congrats to the newborn on the list, lo btw!) lo However, if you are using RedHat Linux 5.1 as your dialin server it lo comes with some anti-forwarding rules in it's sedmail.cf file. lo Try looking at http://www.redhat.com/support and looking in the RHL lo 5.1 Users Guide which explains what spam is and what the specific rules lo are in the sendmail.cf file. If you installed support documentation, lo it will also be in /usr/doc/HTML or it is on the CD if you have it. I have about 15 dialin users. All accounts are ppp. Since I do not have a permenant IP I don't offer email. However, I have paticular free email service from www.netaddress.com that also uses a pop3 server. Why dialin users configure thier mail clients as folows: outgoing (SMPT) mail.ohiocounty.net - me (netaddress.com has no SMPT) incomming (POP3) pop.netaddress.com email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] reply to email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Now here is the problem: Whenever a dialin user tries to send mail it a popup reply that says "The server responded: We do not relay." This *only* happens for dialin. I can send mail from the this terminal just fine. This terminal has the same configuration as the dialin user would have. As I have installed anti spam support on Red Hat 4.2 by hand (with the aid of docs from an email security site), I may be able to offer some form of explanation. It could be that the dialin user's IP address doesn't have a reverse DNS entry, so all sendmail knows about the dialin user is the IP address. Or the dialins (for some strange reason) are in a different domain. I don't know how Red Hat have configured the anti relay measures, but if it's anything like mine, there should be a class definition (a FW line comewhere in /etc/sendmail.cf) which points to a file where you can add domains or IP addresses that are to be considered local. Add the relevant entries for the dialups in the file, so sendmail knows that these are "local" systems, and things should be fine. One thing I love about sendmail is that if it's possible, there's every chance sendmail can do it. The trick is getting it to do so. I reccommend the O'Reilly Sendmail book, for anyone wanting to learn how to get the most out of it. ..

If you have the HowTos installed on your system, look there, otherwise you'll find them online as part of the Linux Documentation Project (there is a link from www.linux.org).

How to configure Linux to use ISP's proxy server
It's 30 Apr 98 05:51:27, We'll return to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and All's discussion of How to configure Linux to use ISP's proxy server an connection working. I can ping the DNS and browse the WWW pages on my an ISP's server. I now need to set up Linux so that it can send requests an to the ISP's proxy server and gain access to the WWW beyond the proxy an server. an I remembered that Netscape had the facility to specify a proxy server an and tried to set that up using the named domain name. Netscape said an that the host didn't exist (I wasn't online at the time), so I put in an the numerical IP address of the proxy server. Netscape accepted this, an but when I fired up pppd and got the connection, it didn't recognise an the host. Netscape is where you setup the proxy details. You need both the hostname (or IP) of the proxy and the port it listens on for proxy requests. Common ports are 8080 snd 80. It's worth checking your ISP's web pages, as many ISPs have this sort of information online for their customers. BTW, DON'T enter anything in the Socks proxy box, unless your ISP specifically says so. Most ISPs don't have a Socks proxy for users, as it's not needed (Socks is most commonly used in corporate firewalls). an I presume I now have to set up the details of the proxy server within an a file in /etc or /etc/ppp , but I don't know where to add it. No, Netscape is the only place you need to enter the information. (Just did it yesterday after installing Netscape under X myself :) ). ..
