Hello! I am configuring the email in a potato box. I am connected to my ISP via modem. I want to use exim+fetchmail+mutt. So far I have some questions, and I wonder if someone in this fantastic list can help me:
1) I have two ISP providers. I choose one of them when I establish the dial-up connection. But in the exim's configuration file there is room for only one ISP. If I want to change the ISP should I have to edit the exim's config file? is there a way exim stores the information for several ISPs and, at dial-up time, inform to exim to what ISP I am connecting to? 2) When fetchmail retrieves the email from the ISP to my machine, is exim who delivers them to my /var/spool/mail/account file? 3) is exim automatically called when I establish the dial-up connection? 4) why the MUAs programs (for example balsa or xfmail) don't need a MTA for retrieve the messages from the ISP (at last with pop3) but they need a MTA for sending the emails (via smtp)? Sorry for ask many questions in a single email... :P Thanks ins advance for the help! Marcelo _____________________ Marcelo Chiapparini [EMAIL PROTECTED]
