Check out local_interfaces. You can probably push everything into a
single configuration with this option and appropriate usage of
$interface_address or it's new name.

Already works exactly that way thanks. :)

I was just using port 2000 in the example, it's not how I actually have
my systems configured. Anyway, it should be 465 for tls_on_connect, not
587. :)
