(!)   [Neil]   It's   certainly   possible.   The   Exim   FAQ   at
     [72]http://exim.org/exim-html-4.30/doc/html/FAQ_3.html has an example of
     setting up routers to send local mail to hosts on the local network and
     everything else to a smarthost. this should be easy to adapt to do what
     you want.

     If all else fails read the documentation. The Exim documentation, though
     large, is very informative. You just need to read it selectively and pick
     the relevant chapters.

   (?) My second question is how to set up postmaster at my local host. My
   current exim config accepts mail sent to postmaster@my.domain however it
   does not accept mail to [73]postmaster@dhcp-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.columbus.rr.com
   which is my hostname assigned by my isp. The xxx being the ip address which
   can change. Is there a way to make exim accept mail sent to this email
   address such that the ip address (i.e. in this case domain name) part is
   updated automatically. 

     (!)  [Neil]  I  don't  know  about getting it to update the address
     automatically,   but   you   can  have  it  match  a  pattern  like
     [74]postmaster@dhcp-*.columbus.rr.com on the basis that it's unlikely
     anyone else's postmaster mail will be directed to your IP. Frankly I
     wonder who would send postmaster email to an address like that anyway.

     In the default exim 4 config this is accepted by the rules:

  domainlist local_domains =@

  accept  local_parts   = postmaster
          domains       = +local_domains

     According to the documentation '@' ... 'is a special form of entry which
     means the name of the local host, so this should normally match, but I
     guess your system is set up to use "my.domain" as the hostname, instead of
     the RoadRunner host name.

     As an alternative, it may be that adding
     dhcp-$interface_address.columbus.rr.com or some variation thereon to
     local-domains will achieve what you want. I have not tried this, so I
     can't be sure it will work. If you try it, be sure to let us know whether
     it worked.

(?) Re: Question re; Fvwm xintric

   From Jay Hamilton 

                                                Answered By: Thomas Adam 

     The following was an e-mail sent to me, having read my article in the
     linuxgazette from a few months ago. -- Thomas Adam

   My new.xintric file says 
xterm -geometry 80x24+2211+1792 -title FvwmConsole -name FvwmConsole -e
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fvwm2/FvwmConsoleC &
/usr/X11R6/bin/xconsole -notify -nostdin -verbose -exitOnFail -ic
-geometry 384x110+0-0 &
qinternet -geometry 0x0+532+781 &
fvwm
DeskTopSize 5x5

     (!) [Thomas] I see you're using FvwmSaveDesk or FvwmDesk modules to save
     the layout of your windows? No?

   (?) That last bit I added hoping that it would make it a default however it
   seems to have no effect at all. 

     (!) [Thomas] Not quite. What you're wanting to do is have all those
     applications start, and then load fvwm. However, there are two things
     which you must be aware of:

     *) new.xinitrc is only specific if you have certain Fvwm modules loaded.
     If you don't the file is not read [1]. *) The last two commands you have
     there -- "fvwm" and "DesktopSize 5x5" are out of context here.

   (?)  So-  I  must misunderstand something. I believed that I could add
   instructions to this file and they would become the default that didn't
   happen so I got it wrong. 

     (!) [Thomas] What you want, then (and you were close) is to move all your
     commands to ~/.xsession [2], so that it looks something like this:

                    See attached [75]sample-xinitrc.txt

     Having saved that file as "~/.xsession", you should ensure that you run
     the command "chmod 700 ~/.xsession". What this will do is when you login
     (via startx, or some DM) this file is read and will execute all of the
     above, including the launching of fvwm.

     All that this leaves is the last command you had "DesktopSize 5x5". The
     reason it was out of context both in your modification of 'new-xinitrc'
     and indeed any ~/.x{session,init} file is because it is specific to Fvwm.
     That is, only Fvwm itself will understand what you're meaning. It is not a
     command. You should therefore add "DesktopSize 5x5" somewhere within your
     ~/.fvwm/fvwm2rc file.

   (?) Also when in xconsole I type FvwmBacker Black [or black] the screen
   background turns blue- yet I can get a black background via gnome settings.
