william pechter ILEX stands accused of saying: > 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). Bleagh. This is really suboptimal. Get his system to route to your Class C & use your address, not his, for your end of the connection. > 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). That'd work. > Is there a better way to do it using sendmail (either Sendmail v8 or > IDA) and smtp directly. No, smtp is send-only. > 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. How many local users do you have? You could use popclient and a pop3 server at his end. > I know someone here's going to have a better way to do it. Doing it 'right' involves routing to your class C properly. > Bill Pechter |Systems Administrator | N2RDI -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] My car has "demand start" - Terry Lambert [[
