Well, when sending UDP, if you get too hot, they disappear! My buds at NASDAQ must be the worlds best at tuning UDP. The only local defense is a huge socket buffer, so they are not discarded, and throttling yourself to some rate by modeling the buffer at some level of network access. If you are broadcasting, you get to see your own packet come back up the stack to you, so you can have some sort of high water mark of N packets not seen. I guess if you could set the NIC promiscuous, you could see your packets leaving. Downstream, still a turkey shoot!

Hi.
I need to set up sendmail so that it can send mail to a mail relay.
I have never touched sendmail before so I am not sure how to do this. All incoming mail is directed to a different server - this is just to enable me to get mail out.
Running Solaris 8 on Sparc.
Many thanks,

I'd like to find out how to redirect Outbound packets.
So instead of having packets go to IP1 as they normally would, have them go to IP2 instead.
I believe this is possible using IPFW but I'm not sure. I've played with it, but haven't gotten too far.
Any ideas would be appreciated. (1 Reply)

Here's the problem: Some email-service providers (like

UDP(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual UDP(4)
NAME
udp -- Internet User Datagram Protocol
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
int
socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
DESCRIPTION
UDP is a simple, unreliable datagram protocol which is used to support the SOCK_DGRAM abstraction for the Internet protocol family. UDP
sockets are connectionless, and are normally used with the sendto and recvfrom calls, though the connect(2) call may also be used to fix the
destination for future packets (in which case the recv(2) or read(2) and send(2) or write(2) system calls may be used).
UDP address formats are identical to those used by TCP. In particular UDP provides a port identifier in addition to the normal Internet
address format. Note that the UDP port space is separate from the TCP port space (i.e. a UDP port may not be ``connected'' to a TCP port).
In addition broadcast packets may be sent (assuming the underlying network supports this) by using a reserved ``broadcast address''; this
address is network interface dependent.
Options at the IP transport level may be used with UDP; see ip(4).
DIAGNOSTICS
A socket operation may fail with one of the following errors returned:
[EISCONN] when trying to establish a connection on a socket which already has one, or when trying to send a datagram with the destina-
tion address specified and the socket is already connected;
[ENOTCONN] when trying to send a datagram, but no destination address is specified, and the socket hasn't been connected;
[ENOBUFS] when the system runs out of memory for an internal data structure;
[EADDRINUSE] when an attempt is made to create a socket with a port which has already been allocated;
[EADDRNOTAVAIL] when an attempt is made to create a socket with a network address for which no network interface exists.

HISTORY
The udp protocol appeared in 4.2BSD.
