exim+fetchmail
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
