Now, I can enjoy it 'til the next > obstacle. =) I recently made myself an /etc/ppp/ip-up script that takes care of changing the smart-host in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and restarts sendmail. The script is tailored to Greek internet providers, whose domains are all of the form `something.gr'. However, it might give you a few nice ideas, and if your ISP's are usually called `something.net' or `someotherthing.com', the script works correctly as it is. Go check it out at and if you seem to like it copy it to your /etc/ppp/ip-up file and make sure it's executable. -- Giorgos Keramidas, < keramida @ ceid . upatras . gr > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
