Sam, could you please make binding to the same ip address optional.

I have several setups where SMTP server has both public and RFC 1918
addresses but is not serving as an IP gateway for other private network
hosts (i.e. is just an SMTP gateway). If courier will start to allways
bind to the same ip address, I will need extra NAT/filter rules for both:
- emails that come from inside and addressed to servers outside;
- and emails from outside, forwarded to other email server on the
private network.
