Hi everyone,
(please Cc)
I guess that has been asked before, but I couldn't find any answer, which
is strange since I guess many people have to fight with that:
I am working on a laptop and switching networks permanently, from
University to home (cable modem) to hotspots to wwan access.
All of these logins usually force me to use a different smart host for
sending emails.
Most of the times I just circumvent that by fixing one smart host
(at the university) together with user authentication so that I can send
from anywhere in the world via that smart host.
Unfortunately sometimes the port 25 is blocked (even outgoing) in some
networks and smtp sending can *only* be done via their mail router.
Now, is there a solution to the changing smart host problem?
Best would be a solution that incorporates with e.g. wicd (which I am
using), or NetworkManager (which I never touched), and of course with
/etc/network/interfaces.
Thanks a lot for any suggestion and all the best
Norbert
