you can uucp via a tcp connection configure the dialin port to be tcp .. write a cron job that would dial in (pppd should do the job) and get uucico to do the rest .. there is a sample sendmail.cf that comed with the sendmail distribution. another way is to use fetchmail or popclient these sould do the job as well .. hope this helps .. cheers Rami **************************** Rami Abu Jebara Technical Director Palnet Communications Ltd e-mail : rjebara@palnet.com Tel: ++ 972 2 583 5666 Fax: ++ 972 2 583 6354 w w w . p a l n e t . c o m On Thu, 24 Jun 1999, Kurt Jaeger wrote: > Hi! > > > I just wonder, when holding mail for a domain, which picks it up by dialin > > and doing smtp/etrn, one almost is forced to issue static ip's. > > > > Why not use uucp?
