Use of DynDNS is required, yes as how the xmail2 server revolve the xmail1 'changing' ip ...
But to trigger the xmail2 server quicker that wayting next 'retry' you can use etrn. After reviewing RFC 1985 (etrn extension), it seems that the real process stated at the server side receiving the ETRN command is 'Server dependant' (nothing sayd in rfc1985 that the server have to use the mx record, ....) The xmail doc about the smtp etrn implementation is 'nothing' :-| In 'classic' implementations, the mx is never used as the mx is generally the server receiving the etrn command ... Generaly the argument to the etrn command tells the server what to do (client name or key, domain name, ..) then the server processing the etrn command do a lookup in a 'etrn' table to find the final host to connect to and what to send to it (domain name, sub domain, ...) eventually with security infos (as send in ssl, verify that HELO/EHLO is ..., use auth to send, ...) I think Davide could explain the exact process when xmail receives a etrn command (arg expected and syntax, and meaning, ..., where xmail find the final destination host name or ip for the etrn, ..) :) Francis >-----Message d'origine----- >De : [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] la part de Rob Arends >Envoyé : mardi 23 janvier 2007 05:42 >À : xmail@xmailserver.org >Objet : [xmail] Re: XMail acting as a smarthost for dynamic IP's > > > >Francis, Sounds go on the surface. > >But I think ETRN sends to the MX server, not the IP address >requesting = >the >ETRN. > >Is this correct? > >If so, then the DNS would need to be updated before the ETRN issued. > >Why not use the DYNDNS support in xmail on xmail(2). > > >Rob :-) >=20 >_________________________________________________ >Note To Self: Remember to put something witty here later... >=20 > >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] = >On >Behalf Of CLEMENT Francis >Sent: Tuesday, January 23, 2007 4:25 AM >To: 'xmail@xmailserver.org' >Subject: [xmail] Re: XMail acting as a smarthost for dynamic IP's > > > >ETRN mode seems to be the good choice >Configure xmail1 to start a regular etrn process with xmail2 > >Francis > > >>-----Message d'origine----- >>De : [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] la part de Norbert Doeberlein >>Envoy=E9 : vendredi 19 janvier 2007 18:52 >>=C0 : xmail@xmailserver.org >>Objet : [xmail] Re: XMail acting as a smarthost for dynamic IP's >> >> >> >>If XMail1 is on a dynamic IP address and XMail2 is on a >static, and I = >=3D >>want XMail2 to send all mail for XMail1, how would I setup >XMail1?=3D20 >> >>-----Original Message----- >>From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] =3D >>On Behalf Of CLEMENT Francis >>Sent: Thursday, January 18, 2007 11:10 >>To: 'xmail@xmailserver.org' >>Subject: [xmail] Re: XMail acting as a smarthost for dynamic IP's >> >> >>Create dummy accounts in your xmail server (on a dummy domain like =3D >>relay.relay), one account for each sending server, then=20 >>disable pop3 for =3D >>them (user.tab file setting) Send your customers they=20 >>respective login =3D >>(syntax : [EMAIL PROTECTED]) and password and ask them to use SMTP =3D >>Authentication when connecting to your xmail relayserver. >> >>Francis >> >> >>>-----Message d'origine----- >>>De : [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>>[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] la part de Norbert=20 >>Doeberlein=3D20 >>>Envoy=3DE9 : jeudi 18 janvier 2007 16:53 =3DC0 : >xmail@xmailserver.org = >=3D >>Objet :=3D20 >>>[xmail] XMail acting as a smarthost for dynamic IP's >>> >>> >>>I have many clients that are on dynamic IP addresses (DSL) in = >their=3D20 >>>small businesses.
