Actualy you DO need .
when you specify "local_interface" it only tell exim to which IP
address to listen
So in case you have 2 or 10 ip address on your machine and the main IP Addr
is for example 1.2.3.4
Then althought the local_interface was sent to 1.2.3.10 each time
the exim was connecting to other
SMTP servers it was using the 1.2.3.4 as source instead of 1.2.3.10 (as I
wanted)
Anyway I found the solution I had to put the interface option within the
remote_smtp at the configuration file
That's the right place to put it.
# This transport is used for delivering messages over SMTP connections.
remote_smtp:
driver = smtp
interface = <; 1.2.3.10
