Without checking this directly right now, IIRC, when IMail does *not*
call "BindToIP" to bind to a secondary IP for an IP-ful host--or if
there is no IP assigned to a host, e.g. it is IP-less as in your
case--it makes no deliberate attempt to bind to its own (so-called)
primary IP, but rather just keeps "hands off" amd binds the client
socket using the generic INADDR_ANY. As a result, the OS handles
routing via the routing table and will send the packets out the
primary IP of the interface closest to the destination; this is very
typical behavior across Windows applications and certainly not
confined to IMail.
This info might not be up-to-date, but if it is still current, the
solution is: don't expect IMail to default to an IP that is not also
Windows' default IP for an interface. It just makes for unnecessary
complexity, anyway.
