The login section is for authentication with your ISP only - you just
need the one login : password combination. What you're talking about
is rewriting your email address for various boxes depending on where
the mail originates, it seems. I don't have any great solutions for
that, although /etc/email-addresses takes care of rewriting your From:
line for you. Lines of the form:
Timo: timohart@gmx.at
Timobusiness: Timobusiness@gmx.de
etc.
Should do that if you want to set up different user accounts for
yourself. You can also set up your MUA's (mutt, balsa, etc.) to
rewrite the From: line, and have exim ignore it. That way you
could have one account with multiple MTA's depending on which
account you want to appear to be sending from. I'm sure there's
a better way, but I don't know it.
Good luck,
Steve
