Hi everyone,

A few weeks ago I asked the following question:

> I'm looking for a mail client that chooses the (outgoing) SMTP
> server based on my current IP address. Does such an animal exist?

The responses I got were that this feature is not supported by mail
clients, but there are other ways to achieve the desired effect of
sending mail from the one machine through multiple ISPs, namely:

- use my own SMTP server
- provide a dummy address as my SMTP server, and use iptables to
  redirect it appropriately
- a third suggestion that I didn't understand

I would love to tell you what worked; however, I never got to try
it out. The reason is that the solution was supposed to work on a
computer that belongs to somebody else, and they decided that the
best approach for the time being was not to deal with the problem
at all ... So for reasons that have nothing to do with the quality
of your suggestions, the particular problem I had will not get
solved :-(

Thanks to everyone who responded. -Ron.
