Our firewall is set up to accept an ftp "user" command, to out to the internet. example: $ ftp internet.rrd.com +----------------------------------------------------+ | firewall FTP LOGIN SCREEN MESSAGE blah, blah and foobar blah. +----------------------------------------------------+ FTP> user anonymous@pub.digital.com Telnet is similar.

I'd check with your internal folks that control the proxy server. This should be pretty much the same procedure for all FTP users - TCPware or not. Likely, you'll need to FTP to the firewall/proxy first and then enter some additional commands to connect to your desired destination FTP server. Note also that you might want to use the PASV option (TCPware's FTP Client "SET PASSIVE" command). - Bernie Volz Process Software ================================================================================ Archive-Date: Tue, 8 Sep 1998 06:02:11 -0400 From: "Mark Ashley" Reply-To: Info-TCPware@process.com To: "TCPware" Subject: NTA terminal ID seeding Date: Tue, 8 Sep 1998 10:57:31 +0100 Message-ID: <002e01bddb0f$18a06880$bb0dcac2@PCESS023.essential.co.uk> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Are there any plans to introduce terminal ID seeding into TCPWARE?

Our DNS is set up as a resolver (we use our ISP for the primary DNS). Yes, we hope to soon do our own primary DNS and this thing with email hopefully wouldn't be an issue (once DNS was set up correctly, I suppose). We discovered early on after setting this up that we could only receive email to user@, where matched what was in the TCPWARE_SMTP_LOCALHOSTS logical; right now it is CARFAX-INC.COM. If we wanted to receive email to, say, CARFAX.COM, we would have to reconfigure the TCPware SMTP setup (and maybe more), but then we would not be able to receive email to CARFAX-INC.COM any more. We experienced this early on when we went from a certain domain over to carfax-inc.com. Experimenting today, tho, I discovered that we can receive email to user@www.carfax.com, one of our registered domains, and also to another registered one! My question then: Is there a record(s) that has been set in our ISP's DNS that allows email to either carfax-inc.com OR www.carfax.com? Does our own system not 'care' about the domain? Right now, carfax.com translates to the same IP address as www.carfax.com, does that make a difference? Is the HOSTS file relevant here? We will soon be moving to a new ISP and would like to have a greater understanding of how this works so that we can get it set up correctly. Thank you!

Right now, >carfax.com translates to the same IP address as www.carfax.com, does >that make a difference? Is the HOSTS file relevant here? In a nutshell, an SMTP client will do an MX record lookup for the address it is sending to, to try and find the host to send the mail to. In the case of carfax-inc.com, the MX record lookup will tell the client to send the mail to carfaxit.com. So the client will then look up the address of carfaxit.com, and send the mail to that system. If there is no MX record (as is the case with www.carfax.com and carfax.com) it will then do an A record lookup on the name, and send the mail to that system. Now if you look at your carfaxit.com system, you most likely have the SMTP_LOCALHOSTS set to be "carfax-inc.com", so that the system knows to try and deliver mail sent to that domain rather than relaying it. If you look at your www.carfax.com system, most likely there is nothing set for the SMTP_LOCALHOSTS. If there is no SMTP_LOCALHOSTS parameter set, then it accepts mail addressed to the local host... the www.carfax.com system will accept mail to www.carfax.com by default. In order to configure www.carfax.com to accept mail for carfax.com as well, you would just need to set the SMTP_LOCALHOSTS parameter to "carfax.com", which will make it accept mail for www.carfax.com (the local host) and carfax.com. Now if your www.carfax.com and your carfaxit.com systems happen to be clustered, and you want either of them to receive mail for the whole lot of the domains, you could do it quite simply by: carfax.com IN MX 10 www.carfax.com IN MX 20 carfaxit.com carfax-inc.com IN MX 10 www.carfax.com IN MX 20 carfaxit.com Which tells clients to try and deliver mail to @carfax.com or @carfax-inc.com to www.carfax.com, and if it can't connect to that system, then try carfaxit.com. Then on www.carfax.com and carfaxit.com (the 119 and 118 systems respectively), you would want your SMTP_LOCALHOSTS parameter to be set to be: carfax-inc.com carfax.com That way either system will receive mail addressed to both those domains. -Jeff -- Jeff Schreiber, Process Software Corp. schreiber@mx.process.com http://www.process.com TCPware & MultiNet: Stronger than Ever ================================================================================ Archive-Date: Fri, 11 Sep 1998 14:38:44 -0400 Message-ID: <19980911182851.10962.rocketmail@send1d.yahoomail.com> Date: Fri, 11 Sep 1998 11:28:51 -0700 (PDT) From: Chris Wolfe Reply-To: Info-TCPware@process.com Subject: RE: Using resolving DNS, how to get email at different domain name To: Info-TCPware@process.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Thanks, Jeff, for your reply.

That is what I would expect if it wasn't set. (client sends to the 119 address, who doesn't recognize the domain, so it sets up to relay to carfax.com, and thus we continue).
