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?
