Hi,

Actually I haven't finished yet configuring my own nameserver. Till now I've
just placed the most wanted ampr.org -addresses in /etc/hosts.

  smarthost:
    driver = domainlist
    transport = remote_smtp
    route_list = * "${if
match{$domain}{\\.ampr\\.org\$}{oh2rbi-1.ampr.org}{smtp.helsinki.fi}}"
byname


It seems to skip now DNS-lookup from dialup-line (if online), which is a
good thing. Smarthost started working as soon as I corrected the regular
expression mispellings, after Philip's instructions.

Even though I have a dialup line, the 44.n.n.n space is continously
available all the time.

I didn't quite understand this one. Where do you tell exim to use
oh2rbi_1ampr_org instead of smarthost -entry?
