Topic: ADSL and e-mail problem

[Mark]

Okay,

I'm have this weird problem. I have a ADSL-connection and am required to create a VPN-connection with my modem. This all works fine with my e-smith box. Except that I have to tell the server to 'change' his externe ip when I'm connected to the internet. So first my external ip is 10.0.0.150 but when the connection is established i must make it clear to the server that he has to accept mail on 62.251.97.xxx

I have read that the rule: /sbin/e-smith/signal-event ip-change 62.251.97.xxx should do the trick. But when i enter this rule (which worked fine) my server doesn't even allow any connections going out. So i can internet and do every thing untill i've entered that rule (because i like to recieve e-mail on my domain).

Does anyone know what the problem could be?

I've used the scripts / binaries and howto's from www.adsl4linux.nl, and everything works just fine.

The server boots, at some moment the adsl connection becomes active, and then 2 events happen, the second event is /etc/e-smith/events/ip-up/S20email-ipup. The other event is ip-up, perhaps the first one is invoked by the second one.

The e-smith/Mxstream howto used to be on www.e-smith.nl, but that website seems to be down a lot due to dns problems. Use the Google cache (search for e-smith adsl mxstream howto) to view the howto. Perhaps that howto brings the solution.

www.e-smith.nl is now www.sme-server.nl that's why I couldn't find the howto.
