Generally, any application (unless it explicitly specifies otherwise) will
use the first interface on a multi-homed box for out bound connections.

To be able to specify what IP address Exim uses, check out the 'Interface'
setting in the smtp transport section.

Hi,

I wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction? If I have a
'multi-homed' linux box i.e. with 2 IP adresses and I run Exim on it,
which
IP address will it use?

Also, is it possible to set the IP address used by a parameter such as
recipient domain? I'm thinking in the case of a local domain for a remote
office that we have a 'peering' private network set up with. Maybe that's
not a clear example, but could I route ourcompanydomain.com emails through
one IP and everything else through another IP?

thanks...
