I haven't looked at the code in connection with this yet. However, the
"interface" parameter is already a list. Exim uses the first item that
is of the correct type (IPv4 or IPv6). So you don't need to add a new
parameter, just modify the code to try the next interface in the list.
However, I can't say how easy that is without looking at the code. Exim
is now far, far too big to keep it all in my head. :-)
