| 1 This document covers dial-up internet connections with PPP | |
| 2 ---------------------------------------------------------- | |

| 4 Now you have to set up the online configuration. The trick is to tell | |
| 5 your ip-up script the connection name. You could use the IP number of | |
| 6 the far side of the ppp link, but this is a pain and may change each | |
| 7 time. But you can give it an additional argument via pppd with ipparam. | |
| 8 Somewhere in your dial up script you have a line similar to: | |
| 9 | |
| 10 /usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttyS1 connect "/usr/sbin/chat -t 90 -f $CHATFILE" \ | |
| 11 -d -d -d user user@somewhere file "$OPTIONS" | |
| 12 | |
| 13 Just add 'ipparam FastNet' in the command line for pppd if your ISP has | |
| 14 the name FastNet. The ip-up script will then get 'FastNet' as a sixth | |
| 15 parameter. In your ip-up script you can then call masqmail with | |
| 16 | |
| 17 /usr/local/sbin/masqmail -qo "$6" | |
| 18 | |
| 19 instead of 'sendmail -q', if you had that in the script before. | |
| 20 Masqmail will then read the route configuration specified for the | |
| 21 connection name 'FastNet' and deliver the mail destined to the internet. | |
| 22 See the configuration manual on how to write a route configuration or | |
| 23 use one of the examples as a template. | |
| 24 | |
| 25 I do not know how do configure that for an ISDN adapter, but I am sure | |
| 26 you will find something similar in the man pages. | |
| 27 | |
| 28 If you want mail that is received by masqmail from your local net to be | |
| 29 delivered immediately using the route configuration, you have two | |
| 30 possibilities: | |
| 31 | |
| 32 * if you are using the masqdialer system, you just have to set the | |
| 33 variables online_detect to pipe and online_pipe to something like | |
| 34 /usr/bin/mservdetect localhost 224 | |
| 35 if mserver is running on localhost and listens on port 224. See the | |
| 36 man page to mservdetect(1). | |
| 37 | |
| 38 * otherwise you have to add two commands in your ip-up script: | |
| 39 echo "$6" >/var/run/masqmail/masqmail-route | |
| 40 chmod 644 /var/run/masqmail/masqmail-route | |
| 41 and you have to remove the file /var/run/masqmail/masqmail-route in | |
| 42 your ip-down script: | |
| 43 rm /var/run/masqmail/masqmail-route | |
| 44 Then you have to set online_detect to file and online_file to | |
| 45 /var/run/masqmail/masqmail-route | |
| 46 | |
| 47 See the route documentation for more. | |
