On Dec 16 at 19:01, Lowell Gilbert spoke: You should be able to send PRs with *any* DNS name that maps to your address. If you want a permanent one, there are some free dynamic DNS services out there. If you just want to set the hostname automatically, note that dhclient will do it automatically if the DHCP server sends the hostname to it (and if not, you can probably script something up fairly easily). Yes, but the hostnames that result from the dynamic address are often quite long and ugly. That's why I don't allow dhclient to set the hostname automatically. My host doesn't offer any service to the internet. Thus I'm not interested to have an accessible dynamic hostname which is resolvable in the internet. But as shown in Simon Barner's article http://home.leo.org/~barner/freebsd/articles/mailsetup/article.html the _genericstable_ feature can be used for outbound aliases. That's what I'm using now. -Hanspeter ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yes, it permits you to rewrite the envelope from-addresses, which is necessary to trick the other mail server. (Yes, I really should do the final tweaks RSN and submit it to the documentation project) So what is RSN? Really soon now: Say, before the end of the year!

identity using send-pr with dynamic address
Hello, I have a system which has a dialup internet connection. That is it has a different IP address and a different real hostname each time a connection is established. Since it doesn't need any access from the internet it only has a local hostname which has no meaning in the internet. Using mutt/sendmail I can send mail outbound using an address which is located on a public server. Using send-pr I can set a From: field. But sendmail can't forward the message to an external smarthost since the local username/hostname seems to be used (in the envelope?). I only succeeded to send a problem report after setting the hostname to the current public internet hostname (according the dialup IP address). Is there a better way to send prs from system with dynamic IP address? -Hanspeter ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
