I have my MASQ box working with diald and a very basic rule set (thanks David!) but thats not the end of the story. As the MASQ box is also my mail and fax server, things have started to get a little complex. To stop Sendmail from dialing out every time I send an e-mail to the server, Sendmail is configured as DeliveryMode = defered. This basically accepts the mail and does nothing until the queue is run (from IP-UP). Any other setting and Sendmail tries to either deliver or lookup the recipient. And here's the but, any faxes I send also stay in the queue with the e-mail (Only one modem and phone line). The only way I can think of setting the system up is to run 2 machines with sendmail. One being an "internal" server which sifts internal mail and faxes from external mail. The external mail is then queued on the MASQ machine to await IP-UP .... or does anyone know different? This does have it's advantages though, as it would take Samba, Hylafax, Apache Bind and others off of the MASQed machine. If my ISP gives me a valid IP address and a domain name ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), can mail be collected via SMTP from the "internal" mail server and delivered directly to a user (user@mylan maps directly to user@localhost)without too much bother? (Thats what I am aiming for) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For daily digest info, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]
