Note, work in progress...

These examples are not using the Bering-uClibc builtin email notification found in the master configuration file

[ lrcfg... 2) system configuration... 1) Master LRP settings... ]

Email notification example using your own ISP SMTP server or Google's:

If your ISP provides you with an email account, using their SMTP server to send notification emails is the simplest method since most will only require a simple authentication username & password. Some might use TLS/SSL in which case simply use curl otherwise you will need to get a certificate. In any case check your ISP SMTP server requirements. Last resort (joking...), if you have a Google account and certificate, you can use their SMTP server.

For the emails to get out you will have to add these rules to /etc/shorewall/rules

# pour les mails de Videotron....
SMTP(ACCEPT)    fw       net
ACCEPT          fw       net    tcp 587
ACCEPT          fw       net    tcp 465

This email gets sent when the router IP address changes

The script is saved as /etc/cron.daily/mailIP so it is executed daily at 06:42. It will check if the IP has changed.


  • Using sendmail:

The code can be found in this forum, along with many other hints... https://www.snbforums.com/threads/notifications-e-mail.8190/page-8#post-267789


firewall# cat mailIP
  #!/bin/sh
  #
  # transmet l'adresse ip quand il change...
  #
  #
  IPNOW=$(ip addr | grep 255.255. | sed -n 's/^ *inet *\([.0-9]*\).*/\1/p')
  if grep -q $IPNOW /tmp/MyIP.log
  then
  echo "No change"
  else
  echo $IPNOW > /tmp/MyIP.log
  echo "Subject: l'adresse IP aujourd'hui: $IPNOW !!! " > /tmp/MyIP1.log
  echo "From: root@firewall" >> /tmp/MyIP1.log
  echo "Date:  `date -R`" >> /tmp/MyIP1.log
  echo "" >> /tmp/MyIP1.log
  echo "Salut mon petit JR..." >> /tmp/MyIP1.log
  echo "" >> /tmp/MyIP1.log
  echo "nouvel IP:  $IPNOW" >> /tmp/MyIP1.log
  echo "Uptime est: `uptime | cut -d ',' -f1 | sed 's/^.\{12\}//g'`" >> /tmp/MyIP1.log
  echo "" >> /tmp/MyIP1.log
  echo "---- " >> /tmp/MyIP1.log
  echo "de la part de ton gentil Routeur !!!" >> /tmp/MyIP1.log
  echo "" >> /tmp/MyIP1.log
  echo "" >> /tmp/MyIP1.log
  sendmail -S relais.videotron.ca:587 </tmp/MyIP1.log -froot@firewall -auxxxxxxxx -apyyyyyyyy blablabla@gmail.com
  fi



  • Using curl: replace the sendmail stanza with this one:
  curl --url smtps://smtp.videotron.ca:465 --mail-from root@firewall --mail-rcpt blablabla@gmail.com    --upload-file /tmp/MyIP1.log --ssl-reqd --user xxxxxxxx:yyyyyyyy --insecure


  • Using Google's SMTP: again replace the previous sendmail stanza with this one...
cat /tmp/MyIP1.log | sendmail -H"exec openssl s_client -quiet -CAfile /root/google-roots.pem -connect smtp.gmail.com:587 -tls1 -starttls smtp" -fblablabla@gmail.com -aublablabla@gmail.com -apyourgmailpassw blablabla@gmail.com

The certificate google-roots.pem comes from:

cd  (to /root)
wget https://pki.google.com/roots.pem
mv roots.pem google-roots.pem
