Smail Solution for Dynamic IP's

[alemas@ipa.net]

     Daniel offered a solution that seems to me to work very (bo used
on this box, so check it) well, except that I changed the "smtp-rewrite"
in the /etc/smail/routers file to match what it calls in the 
/etc/smail/transports file ("smtp-remap").  I think I typed both in as
"smtp-rewrite".  I use elm-me+ and fetchmail (for POP downloads), by
the way.

     Also, I think it is important to go to the /etc/smail/config file
and make sure your ISP's domain name (not your full machine name) appears
thusly:
visible_name=ipa.net        <--------(mine used as an example here)
-domains
hostnames=alemas.ipa.net   <--(not sure about this line. Is it correct?)

      You gurus on the list please take a look the script below, my
suggestions, and the full header of this message.  Then please advise.
If it works, maybe it will be useful in the archive.  Thank you.
