For years we've been using a single config file for all our mail servers that had the following:
local_interfaces = 0.0.0.0.25 : 0.0.0.0.5190 : 0.0.0.0.587 But now we have a machine where we're running a special SMTP instance on just one of its interfaces. So I thought I would just make sure I start that other one first. But when exim can't bind to all interfaces, it exits: socket bind() to port 25 for address (any IPv4) failed: Address already in use: daemon abandoned Likewise if I tried listing all possible addresses under local_interfaces, hoping it would bind to those it could and just forget about the rest. So is there any way to do what I'm trying to do without having a special config file for this one host? I'd like it to soft fail when it can't bind to a particular address.
