OK, that's what I want, and it makes more sense than source-routed addresses
even if they worked.
In fact, I went further and instead of just if-then-else, the macro gives
the name of the server I want remote_smtp to use.
It's too bad there isn't a way for an unprivileged user to set certain
macros while still having Exim run privileged. I guess I'd have to
run another level of indirection to do that - have a setuid program to
invoke Exim with a -D option.
