|
|
<P>We assume that you have the kind of Internet access
|
|
which seems to be most common at universities and online
|
|
services nowadays: You dial into your provider's network
|
|
using PPP over a serial connection. Your incoming mail is
|
|
spooled at the provider's POP or IMAP server, while
|
|
outgoing messages are to be sent via SMTP. You don't have
|
|
a domain name of your own, so everything has to use
|
|
<EM>one</EM> address.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>We assume that you have already installed a fairly
|
|
recent version of Eric Allman's sendmail (version 8.8.8 is
|
|
current at the time of this writing and should work fine).
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>This document is partially referring to specific
|
|
properties of Debian GNU/Linux systems; users of different
|
|
distributions will have to take some care.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>Make sure you have the following information at hand:
|
|
<P>
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>Your ISP's mail server</LI>
|
|
<LI>Your Internet mail address</LI>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>The configuration we are planning has two main goals:
|
|
<P>
|
|
<OL>
|
|
<LI>Sending mail between various local users must be
|
|
possible.</LI>
|
|
<LI>The outside world must see the local users'
|
|
ISP mail addresses, not the local ones.</LI>
|
|
</OL>
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>To achieve this, we will make use of sendmail's
|
|
<CODE>genericstable</CODE> feature.

|
