I normally send my email out via my ADSL ISP (teksavvy.com). My normal /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf is a copy of /etc/ssmtp.teksavvy.ssmtp.conf Let's assume that there's an outage at Teksavvy. I then use my dialup account at 295.ca via my USB dialup modem. The script "~/bin/udialup" consists of... #!/bin/bash sudo /bin/cp -f /etc/ssmtp/295.ssmtp.conf /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf sudo /usr/sbin/pon u295.ca When I finish the dialup session, I execute "~/bin/dialdown"... #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/sudo /usr/sbin/poff /usr/bin/sudo /bin/cp -f /etc/ssmtp/teksavvy.ssmtp.conf /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf I can switch between ADSL and dialup without reconfiguring mutt. As I said, I'm a long time mutt user, and it didn't have smtp when I started using it. -- Walter Dnes <[email protected]> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
