Re: ISP connection issue
You dont need any software from sympatico, you can use ppp from FreeBSD to do pppoe. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/pppoe.html make sure your username ends with @sympatico.ca, then make sure you get valid sympatico DNS servers in your /etc/resolv.conf file. -- I worked at sympatico once, their real bitches about unix/linux support, and to think the guy from roaring penguin who wrote the linux pppoe client onced worked for them. they should at least recommend that one! -- -Rick On February 7, 2005 03:06 pm, Shawn B wrote: I am fairly new at *nix and FreeBSD.

Although PPP does enable, I cannot resolve any domains. The ISP is Bell-Sympatico (Canada), and they are completely unwilling to help me, or provide software that will accommodate *nix systems specifically. They do, however, have PPPoE software for Linux.

Their RADIUS servers *should* assign DNS addresses automatically... -Rick On February 7, 2005 04:59 pm, mario wrote: you mean you can connect? can you ping their gateway ip. domain resolution is done via dns. You need to add the dns server address they provide to your /etc/resolv.conf file by hand, or run your own dnscache. i guess PPPoE only provides a gateway address which is handled by add default HISADDR below. -- Rimasec Internet Services www.rimasec.net / [EMAIL PROTECTED] phone: (514) 998-7830 / fax: (514) 998-7130 Owner Systems Administrator / Rick Fournier ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) GnuPG / PGP Key: 31846E22 (http://www.rimasec.net/keys/rick.asc) Key Fingerprint: B1E3 AE2E C867 F491 BF9F 9485 7818 122D 3184 6E22 pgpIbPPGPtOad.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: Sendmail + Cyrus + Procmail(?) + SpamAssassin
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hey, Well for the worth of it, I use Sendmail, Procmail, SpamAssassin and IMAP-UW but with my setup the IMAP software used, is totaly irrelevant. My setup is as follows: $ tail /usr/local/etc/procmailrc DROPPRIVS=yes :0fw: /var/run/spamassassin.lock * 256000 | /usr/local/bin/spamc $ tail $HOME/.procmailrc :0: * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes $PROCMAILDIR/junk $ tail $HOME/.forward |IFS=' 'exec /usr/local/bin/procmail -f-||exit 75 $USER Maybe this can help you out... Rick, On April 1, 2003 01:17 am, Kirk Strauser wrote: Up until this morning, I had a working setup where Sendmail used Procmail for local delivery, and the global procmailrc called SpamAssassin (via spamc) to insert an X-Spam-Status: header into incoming emails. I used Procmail rather than a milter because my server is a secondary MX for an associate's domains, and the poor unenlightened soul doesn't want his email to be processed. Since a milter processes all email passing through a machine, and Procmail only works on mail being delivered locally, it was the perfect fit. I installed Cyrus IMAP 2.1.12 from ports today, and was able to make Sendmail deliver directly to it without too much work. However, now I really want to insert Procmail (or at least spamc) somewhere into the pipeline so that my mail is conveniently marked for disposal again. I've found about 100 half-way recipes on Google (web and Usenet); some call Procmail as the local mailer and ignore Cyrus altogether, and some set Procmail to by Cyrus' delivery agent. However, not one single setup that I tried seemed to work. No matter what I did, either procmailrc was ignored, or mail was silently discarded without being delivered. It's now well past my bed time, my brain is all muzzy, and I'm this close to giving up on the whole project. Before I do, I have to ask: has *anyone* made Sendmail+Cyrus+Procmail+SpamAssassin work? In order of most undesirable to least: 1) Sendmail needs to stay. Switching MTA's isn't something I can do right now. 2) I don't want to give up SpamAssassin. I've been without it for about 12 hours, and the amount of spam in my previously-pristine inbox is sickening. 3) I don't want to give up Procmail, because I don't want to process mail that's merely passing through my machine. 4) I don't want to give up Cyrus because I'm trying to get some experience with it locally before deploying it on customers' production systems. Anyone who can help me with the least amount of pain (see the above metric) will have my eternal gratitude. Or at least a hearty Thanks! once I've had a sleep cycle and some caffeine. - -- Rick Fournier ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) PGP Key: 31846E22 (http://www.rptn.net/rick.asc) Key Fingerprint: B1E3 AE2E C867 F491 BF9F 9485 7818 122D 3184 6E22 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE+iTIeeBgSLTGEbiIRAjLxAJ42NZP1TNc7jNnjjYbXJPfvdz9dnACgtwVt YyRGwAk7P2fbhHquTkAN7GA= =wN4/ -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
