Yes, that was my "(3) below". The docs say you can list multiple IP addresses, but not multiple UNIX sockets for this purpose.

If funds are available for new machines, commodity modern hardware could probably cope and none of the complexity would be required. -- Ian Eiloart Postmaster, University of Sussex +44 (0) 1273 87-3148 -- ## List details at https://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/
