As I read his post, he is sending the right name on his EHLO.  He 
wants to know how to get exim to use the matching interface for 
outgoing connections.

| Hello,
| 
| A quick problem with how my box identifies itself to remote servers
| (wrong).

>From the example given, you mean it is not connecting with the source 
IP address you intended.

|  Here is a quick example.
| 
| 192.111.111.1 - hub.mydomain.com (1st ip on box)
| 192.111.111.2 - smtp.mydomain.com (exim)
| 
| Exim is configured to listen on 192.111.111.2 with:
| 
| local_interfaces = 192.111.111.2 : 127.0.0.1
| 
| Watching the mailog on a remote server, my server still presents itself
| as hub.mydomain.com, yet I elho smtp.mydomain.com.  This gives the
| warning: 
| 
| * Remote host  192.111.111.1 (hub.mydomain.com) incorrectly presented
| itself as smtp.mydomain.com. *

Jason, you need to add an "interface" option to your smtp transport 
to get it to use the 192.111.111.2 interface for outgoing email.  
"local_interfaces" only controls listening for incoming connections.
