Davide, What sort of routing table manipulations are talking about, that would force one src IP over another? This would work IF the secondary IPs are on a _different_ network, otherwise the gateway will be the same and the first/lowest ip will be used.
Many MTAs have the feature to specify the IP to bind to, for sending, as well as listening. Take the case where one server hosts multiple domains through multiple instances of xmail. Each one bound to a different IP. Currently they all _send_ from the same IP. When a customer wants their own identity for their MTA, including Rdns, etc. then this would be of benefit. Or in the case of Harald, he can bind his outgoing mail to IP #2. Even MSExchange - ugh - can do this.
