Hi all,

All of a sudden, for no reason I can find, I am unable to send to some
domains. I am getting errors like this. I am trying to figure out how to
troubleshoot the error message:

"Can't Assign requested address"

[64.18.6.14] Can't assign requested address

I have my exim setup so that authenticated user's (A=login) is sent from
thier own IP (each domain on the server have a public IP). This has worked
very well until now.

In this case, is the 'Can't assign.." refering to the ip of the sending
server or the receiving server?
