 how to stop ppp dialing to sendmail to localhost
Author: unwired

Small problem.

ppp is dailing out every morning at 2:00am to deliver the 'automatic' system status messages to root (default install 4.2 release). I've changed my filters in ppp.conf so that port 25 isn't supposed to allow a dialup. But it's still happening.

One thing I have noticed though is the e-mail is going to "root@www.blahblah.com.au" which is the hostname I've set my system up for. Instead of say "root@localhost", so I have a sneaky feeling that the DNS is causing the dialup.

Anyone know of a way to stop this without denying DNS to start the dialup?

Thanks,
