Hi,

I am setting up my system to down-line-load (DLL) mail & news using
fetchpop for mail and newsdump for news.  DLL works well.  The problem
I am having is uploading mail & news.  I make a PPP link four times
a day, and have this evoked by a cron job. While this is no big deal
I cannot see how to :

1> Trigger sendmail (if this is the best medium to use) to upload mail
   at the time I have a active PPP link.

2> How do I get sendmail to know the sender address is the address on
   the ISP machine and not the ID at the local machine. ie: to know
   that sender is gmkelly@zip.com.au and not root@local_machine.

3> Triggering News send?? I don't know which program is best or do I
   simply utilise the sendmail to post to a newsgroup (How?) rather
   than to email.

4> Any other suggestions or guidance?

All responses appreciated.
Cheers, Grahame


PS;
For those interested in setting up a automated Mail & News service
on there Linux boxes: FetchPop 1.9 is a great program and easy to use.

Newsdump 1.0 works well and I have found it to be quite effective.
