Generally, any application (unless it explicitly specifies otherwise) will use the first interface on a multi-homed box for out bound connections.
To be able to specify what IP address Exim uses, check out the 'Interface' setting in the smtp transport section.

If I have a 'multi-homed' linux box i.e. with 2 IP adresses and I run Exim on it, which IP address will it use? Also, is it possible to set the IP address used by a parameter such as recipient domain? I'm thinking in the case of a local domain for a remote office that we have a 'peering' private network set up with. Maybe that's not a clear example, but could I route ourcompanydomain.com emails through one IP and everything else through another IP? thanks... -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/ -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
