Hi,
I'm probably not the only one here using more than one smtp server,
depending on the network I'm connected to with my laptop...
So I'm asking : is there any clever way to set the smtp server (I use
smtpmail) automagically ? For example, you could have a list of ip
class addresses and set the smtp server based on the current ip
number. Maybe I'm just dreaming...
Thanks for any clue,

Maybe the easiest way to do it is to run `ifconfig' from a login
script, parse the output, and write the local IP address to an
environment variable.
Then you can do like this in Emacs:
(let ((x (getenv "IPADDR")))
(cond ((string-match "^10\\.10\\." x)
..do.stuff..)
((string-match "^12\\." x)
..do.other.stuff..)))

Sure... but Win2K let me unplug my laptop and plug it again in a new
network without having to logout ;-) In fact I almost never logout (it
will run for several weeks).
XEmacs has an `ipconfig' function that will put the result of ipconfig.exe in
some specific buffer, and your idea could be applied dynamically, each
time an email is sent, but it might be a bit time expensive. I wonder if there
is a way under Windows to detect from XEmacs that the network
configuration has changed.

I see. Can you tell your W2K to execute some program when you plug?
Then you could tell it to execute `gnudoit', which tells XEmacs to
execute some Lisp, which in turn frobs the right variables.
