: I have a laptop which DHCP's addresses. On one network, sure I can fix

: What I'm trying to do is get Exim to recognise as local the DNS
: associated with the IP addresses of its interfaces. Not arbitrary DNS,
: just that for the reverse DNS. [see below for clarification]
:
: local_domains_include_host just adds in the kern.hostname value.
:
: local_domains_include_host_literals works just fine. It's excellent.
: If assigned 192.168.1.101, I can mail <postmaster@???> and
: it works. :^) However, if the reverse for that points to, say,
: box-101.dhcp.example.org then I want to treat that domain as local too.
:
: Can anyone see a way of doing this, without rebuilding Exim's config
: file from templates? A funky little option which I'm missing somewhere?
I would probably do something like this:
local_domains = localhost : @ : /etc/exim/local-domains
Then, after you rerun your DHCP client, use 'host' to look up your new
IP address, and write that name to /etc/exim/local-domains.
