Author: Robert Cates Date: To: Exim Users list Subject: [exim] Fw: Users wanting to send mail from a dial-up (ISP)
connection
Maybe I should add to this that I've goolgled, and searched the list
archives, and I've read, but it all seems to be about running Exim on a
machine that's intermittently connected with dial-up, and nothing about the
user connecting per dial-up.
Thanks much!
Robert
