It is as intended. The manual says: +---------------------------------------------------------------+ |local_interfaces|Use: main|Type: string list|Default: see below| +---------------------------------------------------------------+ This option controls which network interfaces are used by the daemon for listening; they are also used to identify the local host when routing. Chapter 13 contains a full description of this option and the related options daemon_smtp_ports, extra_local_interfaces, hosts_treat_as_local, and tls_on_connect_ports. You might also like to look at: +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ |extra_local_interfaces|Use: main|Type: string list|Default: unset| +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ This option defines network interfaces that are to be considered local when routing, but which are not used for listening by the daemon.
