Addition: SMAIL and dynamic IP. [was SOLVED: EXMH can not send e-mail]
Hi, David!
Here is an e-mail that I got from Mark Carroll, who runs Debian/SMail/dynamic
IP, and kindly enough shared his configuration files. Well, perhaps it may
give you some more insights... He also mentioned that he welcomes questions
concerning this configuration. (mcarroll@cantab.com)
------------------------- PPP scripts -------------------------------
There is also a collectio of PPP scripts that his friend Mark Nielsen put on
the Web:

---------------------SMAIL config file -----------------------------
