With this file (part of the debian package, btw), the exim will be
told to deliver the mail whenever the PPP link comes up (ie you run
'pon').

There are six things the Lord hates,
    seven that are detestable to him :
        haughty eyes,
        a lying tongue,
        hands that shed innocent blood,
        a heart that devises wicked schemes,
        feet that are quick to rush into evil,
        a false witness who pours out lies
        and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.
