That's because Exim probably doesn't know itself. Client connections
usually don't care about this, as long as you dont enforce it with
bind(). To get the address, one could use getsockname() (maybe, I didn't
test), unless you use things like source routing (may be system
dependent, though).
Nobody seemed to want this before, so Exim seems not to have it. Maybe
you could convince Phil to add it to the wishlist. Shouldn't be too hard
to implement.
