Using exim as SMTP-AUTH client

[Felix Karpfen <felixk@webone.com.au>]

I have located the following relevant info in

"/usr/share/doc/exim4-config/README.Debian.gz":

   If you want to set up exim as SMTP AUTH client for delivery to your
   internet access provider's smarthost put the name of the server, your
   login and password in /etc/exim4/passwd.client. See the man page for
   exim4-config_files(5) for more information about the required format.

This works well for emails sent via my ISP.  But I also have a "gmail"
account (as a fallback - in case my ISP bombs out).

_My_ ISP does not require SMTP-AUTH; the ISP used by one of my regular
correspondents will not accept emails that do not have it.  GMail offers
relevant info on using "GMail + procmail"; nothing on using "GMail +
exim4".

My question is:

Are there any  problems with having more than one entry in my
"etc/exim4/passwd.client" file?

All advice will be gratefully received.
