Yes, thank you!


And here I'd like to suggest the use of the word "bind" or the phrase
"binding ... to ...a specific ip... or interface" in the
documentation for easier search, first because this
was the most obvious pattern for me to search :) and second because
as far as I remember it was referenced as such in the sendmail
"documentation".

Of course this is just a small cosmetic idea, won't change the
meaning of the doc block at all.

Thanks,
