Yes, I guess that's what most people do. But the simple, direct way to
configure the MTA is to use direct connections. The question was really
if there is a straight-forward, portable to way to set up Exim not to
(and partly also if that will actually help.) I mean portable in the
sense of a config that will work for different IP adresses and
connection via different LANs - typically for laptops etc. that may be
connected to one or more office LANs as well as to dial-up Internet
connections, direct ADSL links to ISPs etc.
