My relationship with giant Verizon is paper thin now so I had better not try much more than my expertise for fear I'll really break something.. It is confirmed, that I didn't know before, that Vz does support POP3 as you've noted.. In fact they do support so much Unix stuff I'm familir with except they add their own twists to the commands, etc.. I, finally, figured out how to set up a simple web page with FTP support without using their eye candy s/w.. <grin> It seems the problem is not all me in that others I've queried in the complex have more problems, for a longer time, than I including a nearby hospitals MIS, all using XP and their bundled software.. Meanwhile maybe I can ask for more help with the scheme now being used in two parts; bash script follows: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #!/bin/bash # /usr/local/sbin/postmail (script to sendmail via kvinet.com.. # Disable ppp.adsl /bin/rm /etc/ppp # Setup to use dialup modem /bin/ln -s /etc/ppp.dial /etc/ppp # Run ppp for DialUp /usr/sbin/ppp-go # need a waitfor here : # "NO CARRIER Local: 146.82.214.57 -> Remote: 10.1.4.1 ppp0" # Needs a new line after that before invoking sendmail.... # The 146.x.x.x may be different considering dhcp. #One of my many trys to make it one script, all failing.. if grep Local: then /bin/echo -e "" fi # Invoking postmail1, thence hitting enter and invoking postmail2, does # the trick... # # TEMPORARY: The above, before the if, is postmail1 and the below is # postmail2.. # # Sending mail via kvinet.com relay.
