Well, yes, but also to do so without having all the details in the configuration file - which interface does what is kept in a separate table. It sacrifices perfect semantics for (relative) simplicity: for example the MX interface has a listener on port 587 which rejects messages and one on 465 which doesn't even have a certificate. I didn't want the configuration to have to work out which set of IP addresses were relevant depending on which of the (up to) 10 hosts it would run on.
