freebsd-questions Digest, Vol 252, Issue 11

[Roy Stuivenberg]

Hello :)
Thank you very much!
I added the line in ipfw script, loaded the script,
and was able to send the email with attachment.
Then tried again without the line > $cmd 00151 allow icmp from any to
any icmptypes 3 (after reboot) and it didn't send the email.
So including the line did the trick .. Thanks & Bravo!

Regards,
Roy.
