Hi,

I use to use the ifupdown-roaming package. With this package the machine automagically detect the right network and may run custom commands. So, to solve your problem is only a matter of putting a little script on the "up / down" network interface section. You can have two exim configuration files, let?s say, exim.conf-home and exim.conf-other. On the "up" interface command you choose the right one, link it to exim.conf, and restart exim. ah... of course... you can hack /etc/init.d/exim too, and choose the right config file at start.

This is not the problem. The problem is to avoid two configuration files
for exim when only a couple of lines are different. It is also hard to
keep the configurations in sync. Imagine, you have 3 or 4, or even more,
configurations for exim, you change a line and then you have to copy the
new configuration 3 or 4 times and change every config file so that the
smarthost entries are not lost.
Put the smarthost entries in a file, and use ifupdown-roaming to change that file per network.
