1 Different methods for online detection
|
|
|
2 --------------------------------------
|
|
|
3
|
|
|
4 /etc/ppp/peers/<provider>
|
|
|
5 -------------------------
|
|
|
6
|
|
|
7 The scripts /etc/ppp/ip-{up,down}.d/{1,99}masqmail make use of the variable
|
|
8
|
8 $IPPARAM, which you can define in your /etc/ppp/peers/<provider>
|
|
0
|
9 configuration with the ippparam option, eg:
|
|
|
10
|
|
|
11 ippparam arcor
|
|
|
12
|
|
|
13 If this is set, $IPPARAM will be written to a 'route' file. Using some
|
|
|
14 awk magic, the scripts finds out which file you have defined for
|
|
|
15 online detection (if online_detect=file) and writes the value of
|
|
|
16 $IPPARAM to this file. masqmail then uses this file to determine its
|
|
|
17 online status.
|
|
|
18
|
|
|
19
|
|
|
20 /etc/network/interfaces
|
|
|
21 -----------------------
|
|
|
22
|
|
|
23 You can use the /etc/network/interfaces script to tell masqmail
|
|
|
24 when a link goes up, and masqmail shall flush its queue and/or fetch mail.
|
|
|
25
|
|
|
26 This is an example for a static interface:
|
|
|
27
|
|
|
28 iface eth0 inet static
|
|
|
29 # mroute/name used by ip-up.d/masqmail BDL May02
|
|
|
30 name SNRC
|
|
|
31 address 130.130.10.233
|
|
|
32 netmask 255.255.255.0
|
|
|
33 gateway 130.130.10.254
|
|
|
34
|
|
|
35 (This example is from Ben Low. Thanks, Ben :-))
|
|
|
36
|
|
|
37 If you use masqmail on a notebook, you can define several interfaces,
|
|
|
38 depending on the network you are in. Read
|
|
|
39 /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples/interfaces.gz
|
|
|
40 for examples.
|
|
|
41
|
|
|
42 The scripts /etc/network/if-{up,down}.d/1masqmail make use of the NAME
|
|
|
43 in the same way as the /etc/ppp/ip-{up,down}.d/ scripts. See above.
|
|
|
44
|
|
|
45
|
|
|
46 guessnet and /etc/network/interfaces
|
|
|
47 ------------------------------------
|
|
|
48
|
|
|
49 Another nice tool is guessnet. See /usr/share/doc/guessnet/README.gz,
|
|
|
50 if you have guessnet installed. You can use it in combination with the
|
|
|
51 method described above for /etc/network/interfaces.
|
|
|
52
|
|
|
53
|
|
|
54 guessnet and the 'online_pipe' option
|
|
|
55 -------------------------------------
|
|
|
56
|
|
|
57 Alternatively you can also use guessnet directly to check the online
|
|
|
58 status. To do this, set in
|
|
|
59 /etc/masqmail/masqmail.conf
|
|
|
60
|
|
|
61 #
|
|
|
62 online_detect=pipe
|
|
|
63 online_pipe="/usr/bin/guessnet < /etc/masqmail/guessnet.conf"
|
|
|
64 #
|
|
|
65
|
|
|
66 and create a file
|
|
|
67 /etc/masqmail/guessnet.conf
|
|
|
68
|
|
|
69 Example:
|
|
|
70 192.168.0.35 00:10:5A:24:C5:B6 192.168.0.1 default
|
|
|
71 192.168.2.1 00:80:AD:97:D5:2D 192.168.0.1 home
|
|
|
72
|
|
|
73
|
|
|
74 masqdialer and the 'online_pipe' option
|
|
|
75 ---------------------------------------
|
|
|
76
|
|
|
77 Yet another possibility for ppp dialups is masqdialer:
|
|
|
78
|
|
|
79 Example:
|
|
|
80 #
|
|
|
81 online_detect=pipe
|
|
|
82 online_pipe="/usr/bin/mservdetect 192.168.1.2 224"
|
|
|
83 #
|
|
|
84
|
|
|
85 This is useful if you have a gateway with masqdialer running
|
|
|
86 and masqmail on another host behind ('behind' as seen from the internet)
|
|
|
87
|
|
|
88 Note:
|
|
|
89 The online detect method 'mserver' is deprecated, and this debian
|
|
|
90 package comes with that option disabled. You can still recompile the
|
|
|
91 package with the ./configure option --enable-mserver, but this may be
|
|
|
92 removed in future version of masqmail.
