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 :)))
