| 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 $IPPARAM, which you can defibe in your /etc/ppp/peers/<provider> | |
| 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. |
