I do not know how exim, but I have here with postfix this in
/etc/postfix/Makefile
neu: neu-prepare all
ppp: ppp-prepare all
ppp-prepare:
cp -f main.cf.ppp main.cf
cp -f sender_canonical.ppp sender_canonical
neu-prepare:
sed -e 's/surfbest.net/neu.edu/g' main.cf.ppp > main.cf
sed -e 's/surfbest.net/neu.edu/g' sender_canonical.ppp \
> sender_canonical
Then it is easy to create (courtesy of sudo) this script called
smtp:
#!/bin/sh
( cd /etc/postfix ; sudo -u root /usr/bin/make "$@" )
and in the script run whenever your are checking emails this
(smtp.neu.edu is a SMTP server when I am connected through LAN
and in variable MYISP I have name of the currently active ISP --
American or Czech):
if /sbin/ifconfig | grep -q '^ppp' \
&& grep -q 'smtp.neu.edu' /etc/postfix/main.cf
then
smtp $MYISP
fi
Does it help?
