I think this is more an OS issue than something to do with qmail. I'd look deeper into the OS instead of looking for a qmail fix.

What does your routing table contain?

Okay, I found a few more articles in different lists about that supposed

qmail seems to tend to keep using the first ip address it ever "knew" on a
system.
Is there something i can do to change that, apart from the bind-interface patch
(which supposedly breaks smtp-auth)?

I really need help on this, since the ip-address my system initially got is from
a range (several /24s) that frequently gets blacklisted, because my provider
(gogax) quite obviously is not well liked in the community.

My only other option would be, to set up a whole new system at another provider.

Betreff: [qmailtoaster] qmail binding to wrong ip address

Hi folks, I guess I've got a toughie here...

I know, that qmail without the bind-interface patch will use the first available ip address, and I've read the various threads about that topic, that's why I gave my system the ip address I want qmail to use
(208.75.190.146) as the first one:

Now here's the funny part...
When I send an email through squirrelmail and look at the headers, it looks like qmail actually for some reason uses the address of eth0:5 (76.76.101.194), which used to be the server's first emailaddress.
