Thanks for the replies:

Magnus: Only one instance of Exim- that is what makes things difficult.
There is no way to separate each customer/domain info. If we set
primary_hostname for my domain in exim.conf, than it would be wrong for all
other customers. Since a shared server can host literaly 400-500 hundred
domains, is it even possible/desirable for every account to its own instance
of Exim? It seems like we need some "on the fly" way for Exim to set the
primary_hostname and IP variables once a user authenticates to Exim for
outgoing mail...but I don't know how to do that with Exim. Is it possible?
Has no one else ever run up against this problem? I am a total Exim and
Linux newbie, but it seems like this would be a common desire in any
multi-domain system.

Tony: Did you mean we should "add" the interface option, or were you adding
to Magnus' reply, and asking how the provider separates my interface option
fom other customer's interface options?

Thanks!
