Hi Andrew, I'm playing around with whereami, looks really good! I'll look into the docking/undocking later and first see if I can get it to work properly in a simple case (two networks, both DHCP, setting mail relay and network mounts). Browsing through the "setmailrelay" suggests that it is written for either Sendmail or Postfix, is that correct or does it also work with Exim?
Excellent idea about the proxy, hadn't thought of that possibility yet but I will definately try to set it up like that.
