Exim will bind the whatever addresses are on the system if told to; by default it will send from the one that is used as the source when the system itself is making outbound connections. If I recall correctly, most kernel IP stacks will default to the numerically 'lowest' address as their outgoing one if several are available. You should be able to see which one by using /sbin/ip route list (or the short form /sbin/ip ro ls) This is from a machine with 30 or so 'secondary' addresses (it's doing a lot of websites) [root@web ~]# ip ro ls aaa.bbb.ccc.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src aaa.bbb.ccc.89 169.254.0.0/16 dev eth0 scope link metric 1002 default via aaa.bbb.ccc.1 dev eth0 You can see there that the default gateway is the aaa.bbb.ccc.1 address on the same range; the range is reached via device eth0 with a source address of aaa.bbb.ccc.89. The behaviour you're seeing implies two equal 'weight' addresses; i.e. neither are configured as 'secondary'. It's perfectly normal. If you want Exim to utilise a fixed address for outgoing connections, see the docs for the SMTP transport and look for the 'interface' option. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.exim.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-dev Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ##
