To: freebsd-questions@freefall.cdrom.com Date: Wed, 28 Jun 1995 08:50:49 -0400 (EDT) Reply-To: pechter@sesd.ilex.com X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Length: 1021 Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I just got my ppp connection and my provider's looking for a way to route mail to lakewood.com to my machine for distribution. I've got a class C license for my local net at home. I'm getting assigned an address for the PPP connection by his machine (BSDI v2.0). He's unsure of the way to do it and is considering holding my MX and using uucp to forward it over the ppp connection (since my ip varies with each ppp connection). Is there a better way to do it using sendmail (either Sendmail v8 or IDA) and smtp directly. His other alternative is dropping all the mail to my domain into my shell account on his machine and having me ftp it and deal with dispersal locally. I know someone here's going to have a better way to do it.
