JP, Try reading the documentation section on the SMTP transport ( http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch30.html ), in particular the helo_data and interface sections. You might want to try using $sending_ip_address, as mentioned in the helo_data section, rather then $interface_address, which is really $received_ip_address, as mentioned in the interface section.
Dan Sent by: [email protected] To: [email protected] cc: (bcc: Dan Mitton/YD/RWDOE) Subject: [exim] helo_data with interface = with multiple IP's LSN: Not Relevant User Filed as: Not a Record Hi I'm having trouble getting Exim (4.69) to use the correct outgoing helo string when sending via specific IP Addresses. My system has 2 IP Addresses, 1.2.3.4 and 1.2.3.5 (for this example) I want the helo name for 1.2.3.4 to be hostname.1234 and for 1.2.3.5 to be hostname.1235 when Exim is told to send out via that IP. I have in my config: #Global section smtp_active_hostname = ${if eq{$interface_address}{1.2.3.5}\ {hostname.1235}{hostname.1234}} #Transports remote_smtp: driver = smtp interface = ${lookup{$sender_address_domain}lsearch{/etc/exim4/interfaces} {$value}{213.133.123.5}} helo_data = ${if eq{$interface_address}{1.2.3.5}\ {hostname.1235}{hostname.1234}} The Global section seems to work fine and the interface lookup in the remote_smtp transport also works fine, however the helo_data does not return the desired string it always returns hostname.1234 even if the sender domain is setup in /etc/exim4/interfaces. I have spent a fair amount of time trying various options so any help would be appreciated. I do have a work around using multiple transports and routers but it seems a bit excessive.
