Looks like the above is alost verbatim from the handbook, as is mine but
with one difference, I let pppd login via PAP:
nospam: [438] cat /etc/ppp/options
/dev/cuaa1 115200
login # is this for incoming connections?
passive # wait for LCP packets
crtscts
modem # modem control line
noipdefault # remote PPP server must supply your IP address.
:204.214.4.1 # dynamic IP on my side, static on the other
domain hiwaay.net
defaultroute # put this if you want that PPP server will be
# your default router
-chap # make sure we don't CHAP
user dkelly # apparently this envokes PAP
connect "/usr/bin/chat -f /etc/ppp/login.chat.script"
My login.chat.script is shorter:
nospam: [439] cat /etc/ppp/login.chat.script
ABORT BUSY ABORT 'NO CARRIER' '' AT&F2 OK ATDT5393101 CONNECT
We need one more simple file:
nospam: [440] cat /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
dkelly * this-is-where-your-password-goes
Then this goes in my personal crontab:
# BSD crontab allows variables like this:
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin
#min hr day mo dow command
#
20 17 * * 1-5 pppd;sleep 60; sendmail -q;
fetchmail; killall pppd
Recently my ISP invoked some of the sendmail 8.8.6 anti-spam measures. My
machine didn't have a registered DNS name so when my sendmail went to send
I got blocked. Then in one of the postings from the sysadmin I noticed they
had added "nospam.hiwaay.net" to their DNS as 127.0.0.1 so users could list
their email address as @nospam and clear other's anti-spam filters. Works
for me. Have decided *my* machine will henceforth be named "nospam". :-)
