still no luck on e-mailing the logs. No error report this morning via weblet, however when I issue the mail script from the putty console, I still get unknown hostname after changing the dns name to the actual server IP in lrp.conf.
ping works from the putty console to dns mail server and ip address, so I am clueless as to the problem. maybe my isp does not like this syntax, any thoughts or next step help? thanks -----Original Message----- From: Kevin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, November 25, 2001 12:15 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Robert Williams Subject: RE: [Leaf-user] The script to send log files I get this when pinging from the firewall: amberton: -root- # ping mail.atl.bellsouth.net PING mail.bellsouth.net (205.152.58.136): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 205.152.58.136: icmp_seq=0 ttl=250 time=21.5 ms 64 bytes from 205.152.58.136: icmp_seq=1 ttl=250 time=22.6 ms 64 bytes from 205.152.58.136: icmp_seq=2 ttl=250 time=21.6 ms 64 bytes from 205.152.58.136: icmp_seq=3 ttl=250 time=21.8 ms 64 bytes from 205.152.58.136: icmp_seq=4 ttl=250 time=20.7 ms I changed the DNS name to the listed IP in lrp.conf and will see what happens in the morning.

Try and ping your smtp mail server by name from your firewall ping mail.atl.bellsouth.net I tried to ping mail.atl.bellsouth.net and mail.alt.bellsouth.net from my computer and got a "couldn't resolve address" error. Make sure the spelling is correct in lrp.conf. If the ping by name doesn't work substitute the ip address in the lrp_MAIL_SERVER variable in lrp.conf if you know it.
