Right. I see what you mean. You want to log the source port when sending
outgoing mail in case the Exim installation is behind NAT. Surely, if
they're behind NAT, the NAT gateway will change the source port anyway
as far as the destination server can see?
Ie, if two Exim installations behind NAT bind to their local port 1234
at the same time and try to connect to the same IP...
