I have installed the Bering distribution (2.4.18) firewall on a 486 booting
from an msdos HD. My connection is aDSL and I use ppp/pppoe. I have an
internal network (192.168.1.0) and all works wonderfully.

What I would like to do is install qmail on my firewall so that I can both
send emails from my internal network, via qmail, to the outside world and
also receive emails from the outside world to my firewall.

I have a dyndns account (drakeweb.homeip.net) that is dynamically updated by
ez-ipupdate whenever my IP changes.

I'd like to be able to write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and receive the
emails on my firewall, for transfer to my internal network using OE. I'd
also like to be able to write an email as [EMAIL PROTECTED] and
for it to be sent to the outside world.

My problem is this:

I've installed qmail and got it to run, following the instructions in the
LEAF packages documentation. I set up an account on OE and sent emails -
they left OE correctly, but went I know not where.

Nothing I send to the outside world arrives, and nothing send from outside
to [EMAIL PROTECTED] arrives either.

Unfortunately, I don't know enough about qmail to know EXACTLY what the
correct config settings should be, so I sorta guessed. I'm also not entirely
sure whether I need a DNS entry (I'm also running tinydns) and what port
opening rules I should apply to shorewall.

I know this is rather a big challenge, but can someone step me through this
installation? I've searched the archives for help, and looked for an idiot's
guide but to no avail.

Thanks,

Adam Drake.
