You can use the files from the 1.113 +examples directory as a template.

You can now kill your old sendmail if it is running and 1.130 +start masqmail. Usually this is done with the startup scripts.

The trick is to 1.156 +tell your ip-up script the connection name. You could use the IP 1.157 +number of the far side of the ppp link, but this is a pain and may 1.158 +change each time. But you can give it an additional argument via pppd 1.159 +with ipparam. Somewhere in your dial up script you have a line similar 1.160 +to:</p> 1.161 + 1.162 +<pre> 1.163 +/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttyS1 connect "/usr/sbin/chat -t 90 -f 1.164 +${CHATFILE}" -d -d -d user user@somewhere file ${OPTIONS} 1.165 +</pre> 1.166 + 1.167 +<p>Just add 'ipparam FastNet' in the command line for pppd if your ISP 1.168 +has the name FastNet. The ip-up script will then get 'FastNet' as a 1.169 +sixth parameter. In your ip-up script you can then call masqmail with</p> 1.170 + 1.171 +<pre> 1.172 +/usr/sbin/masqmail -qo $6 1.173 +</pre> 1.174 + 1.175 +<p>instead of 'sendmail -q', if you had that in the script 1.176 +before. Masqmail will then read the route configuration specified for 1.177 +the connection name 'FastNet' and deliver the mail destined to the 1.178 +internet. See the <a href="config.html">configuration manual</a> on how 1.179 +to write a route configuration or use one of the examples as a 1.180 +template. <em>I do not know how do configure that for an ISDN adapter, 1.181 +but I am sure you will find something similar in the man 1.182 +pages.</em></p> 1.183 + 1.184 +<p>If you want mail that is received by masqmail from your local 1.185 +net to be delivered immediately using the route configuration, you 1.186 +have two possibilities:<p> 1.187 + 1.188 +<p> 1.189 +<ul> 1.190 + 1.191 +<li>if you are using the masqdialer system, you just have to set the 1.192 +variables <b>online_detect</b> to <i>mserver</i> and 1.193 +<b>mserver_iface</b> to the interface mserver is listening to.</li> 1.194 + 1.195 +<li>otherwise you have to add two commands in your ip-up script:<br> 1.196 +echo -n $6 > /tmp/connect_route<br> chmod 644 /tmp/connect_route<br> 1.197 +and you have to remove the file <i>/tmp/connect_route</i> in your 1.198 +ip-down script:<br> rm /tmp/connect_route.<br> Then you have to set 1.199 +<b>online_detect</b> to <i>file</i> and <b>online_file</b> to 1.200 +<i>/tmp/connect_route</i>. </li> 1.201 + 1.202 +</ul> 1.203 +</p> 1.204 + 1.205 +<p>See the route documentation for more.</p> 1.206 + </td></tr> 1.207 + 1.208 + <tr><td> 1.209 + <p> 1.210 + <hr> 1.211 + <address><a href = "mailto:kurth@innominate.de">Oliver Kurth</a></address> 1.212 + Last modified: Tue May 30 15:19:56 CEST 2000 1.213 + <br> 1.214 + This page was created using <a href="http://www.freddyfrog.com/hacks/genpage/">Genpage</a> - Version: 1.0.6 1.215 + </p> 1.216 + 1.217 + </table> 1.218 + </center> 1.219 + 1.220 + </BODY> 1.221 +</HEAD> 1.222 +
