Q0326: What I'd like to do is have alternative smarthosts, where the
one to be used is determined by which ISP I'm connected to.
A0326: The simplest way to do this is to use a lookup in a domainlist
router. For example:
smarthost:
driver = domainlist
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = * ${lookup{smart}lsearch{/etc/smarthost}{$value}} byname
where you arrange for the name (or IP address) of the relevant smart
host to be placed in /etc/smarthost when you connect, in the form
smart: smart.host.name.or.ip
By keeping the data out of the main configuration file, you avoid
having to HUP the daemon when it changes.
(end quote)
On my notebook, changing the /etc/smarthost file is done by whereami.
I have extended that solution a bit so that different addresses are
sent to the correct smart host when I'm at university. (My
university's mailserver will accept only my university address,
whereas the GMX server will only acceppt the GMX address; luckily, my
ISP at home is happy with both...) If you're interested in that, let
me know.
Hope that helps! Greetings,
FJ
