That was a good idea, but I did better :))) Well, when you think to it the solution is simple, someone (on the italian mailing list) sugested me to put the exim conf stuff into the script I use to connect. Now this made me think... I use pon (and poff to get out:) and they handle well the dns stuff, having a DNS file for each provider. I wondered how they did it, and I found a script named 0dns-up into the /etc/ppp/ip-up.d directory (and its couterpart 0dns-down in the /etc/ppp/ip-down.d one). I simply mimiked what these scripts do and wrote 1exim-up and 1exim-down. 1exim-up safely (at least I belive it's safely) replaces /etc/exim.conf with (a copy of) the file named after the provider int the newborn /etc/ppp/sendmail/ directory. When the ppp link get dow, 1exim-down put things back. As this message proves, all goes well :))) -- Leo TheHobbit IRCnet #leiene ICQ 56656060 -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GED/CS d? s-:+>-: a C+++ U+++ L++(+++)>++++ P+++>+++++ E+(++) W++ N+ K? o? !w O?
