Subject: Re: [Fwd: [Exim] Special routing for AOL (gettin' jerked around by Time-Warner)] From: david nicol <whatever@davidnicol.com> Message-Id: <1049791684.11892.47.camel@plaza.davidnicol.com> Date: Tue, 8 Apr 2003 03:48:14 -0500
Not sure how to do this with exim, but with qmail you
would implement the special routing for *@aol.com with
a line in the control/smtproutes file, and some lines
in your network connection scripts to delete the smtproutes
file when bringing up the DSL line and echo
aol.com:smtp.kc.rr.com
into the smtproutes file when bringing up the cable modem.

These scripts are where the configuration adjustment goes.
qmail-remote reads the config file every time it starts, so there's
nothing to HUP or anything like that.
Exim certainly has a facility for this adjustment, but it might
require a signal of some kind, to restart the queuerunners.
