Actualy you DO need . when you specify "local_interface" it only tell exim to which IP address to listen So in case you have 2 or 10 ip address on your machine and the main IP Addr is for example 1.2.3.4 Then althought the local_interface was sent to 1.2.3.10 each time the exim was connecting to other SMTP servers it was using the 1.2.3.4 as source instead of 1.2.3.10 (as I wanted) Anyway I found the solution I had to put the interface option within the remote_smtp at the configuration file That's the right place to put it. # This transport is used for delivering messages over SMTP connections. remote_smtp: driver = smtp interface = <; 1.2.3.10 Best regards Juda Barnes -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
