How do I set up mail with a dialup connection to the 'net? Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi Folks, before I ask: Thanks. You did a great job documenting the bells and whistles, as well as showing the gory details. Again, thanks to all of you who ever did a single line of documentation. Now for some wishes: above said FAQ 8.19 is missing the following hints. Just put them in: After the paragraph <> ... If you've chosen to use user-ppp, you can automatically fetch your mail when a connection to the 'net is established with the following entry in /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup: MYADDR: !bg su user -c fetchmail <> Insert something like <> If you are using sendmail (as shown below) to deliver mail to non-local accounts, put the command !bg su user -c sendmail -q after the above shown entry. This forces sendmail to process your mailqueue as soon as the connection to the 'net is established. <>. Also, some pointers to sendmail information inside this FAQ would help -- I still cannot figure what the shown .mc would do.
