Guest john campbell Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 First of all, I apologize if I don't get this all right, I'm very, very tired, and my brain is shutting down from being up for the last 30 hours. SBC/Yahoo got me by not supporting MX records for my domain's email accounts w/o buying their web hosting also, so I got ticked and decided to use a PII 450 box I got at a garage sale for 5 bucks to run Mandrake Linux, and to handle all of my web and email stuff. Problem is: I've forgotten a lot about configuring this box to do email server duties and setting up Apache.... My current network is a wireless router, basically being used as a hub, since my WAN port and Wireless is dead till I get a new one, DSL with a Speedstream 5100 modem with dynamic IP address. I've signed up with ZoneEdit.com to handle DNS for the nameservers and MX records of my domain, but will need to install software to handle the dynamic IP so that I have a public static IP for the servers. Any help would be appreciated. domain to be set up is johnwcampbell.com... I'm going to bed now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fissy Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 go to http://zoneedit.com/doc/dynamic.html? then scroll down to where it says unix clients... i would set up a 'cron' job (like windows' scheduled tasks) to run the command below every so often (every minute would be overkill, every hour seems like a it long for your email to go round the net, you'll have to decide.) wget -O - --http-user=username --http-passwd=password 'http://dynamic.zoneedit.com/auth/dynamic.html?host=johnwcampbell.com' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
