Xtra switched to requiring authentication a little while ago.

The only solution I can think of it to run a simple mail server on your home machine.
I have been trying to get monitorIP.tcl (http://www.forums.oztivo.net/showpos...5&postcount=25) to work but am getting "couldn't open socket: connection timed out" error messages when running monitorIP from bash.
I have had it running some time ago but, as luck would have it, I tried this time to set it up last weekend when xtra were changing over to the advanced(?) bubble mail system.
My suspicion is that the SMTP mail needs password authentication but the script does not allow for this.
The above would also probably apply to those using Dailymail.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

This would presumably require the operation of a PC as well which defeats the point of monitorIP.
Is there any way that a password can be added to the script?
Why not just use the dyndns script or no-ip.com client?

I have got monitorIP working,
The IP address for Xtra's mail server has changed (I have also had to find another source for the myipserver address).
There is no authentication provided you use your main account name as the sender.
The main reason for using mionitorIP is that I am less dependent on an external service.
Nice script thanks to Thomson
To make the script work I used 210.54.141.2 as the mailserver address (ping smtp.xtra.co.nz) and used my main email address for the domain and sender address ie. xxxx@xtra.co.nz.
In my case I used my email address for the recipient address as well as I am sending the emails to myself.
Hope this helps.
