HELP: smail configuration using SLIP

Post by Michael Atighetc » Fri, 07 Apr 1995 04:00:00



Hi there,

I've got problems installing smail (latest version) on my Linux-PC (v.1.1.68).
I'm using SLIP connecting to the University Of Stuttgart. When I connect to
this server, I get a variable Internet address rusxppp??.rus.uni-stuttgart.de
?? is a number from 1 to 15.
The mail-server at university is   inf.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de

Now my questions:

        1. How should I call my PC (in /etc/HOSTNAME) ?
        2. Can I configure smail to generate mail-headers like

           university) ?
        3. How can I persuade smail to accept incomg mail (not possible yet) ?

Thank you for reading

bye,

         Michael

1. Dynamic SLIP and smail configuration

I know it wasn't made for mail etc... But sometimes it's so damned easy
to be able to reply mail very fast (mailservers etc...)
But I use a dynamic SLIP connection...
I configured /usr/lib/smail/config to accept all the possible incoming
addresses, but I still have one problem...
I need to find a way to configure something to recognize the dynamic
header...
That is: if I'm assigned annexs1p1.urc.tue.nl I want to have

If I'm at annexs1p2.... you get the point I guess...

Is this possible?
