Thank you for your answer.

So changing route_data to route_list isn't a good idea to solve this
problem? Is there really a problem with my setup?
As an (extreme) solution, I could use ((1 x service) x server) ip
addresses and use standard port 25.

Coming to your suggestion: if I understood, I shoud use (on my internal
name server):

internal_smtp1 IN A xxx.yyy.zzz.kkk
internal_smtp2 IN A www.jjj.zzz.vvv
int_service1_smtp1 IN CNAME internal_smtp1
int_service2_smtp1 IN CNAME internal_smtp1
int_service3_smtp1 IN CNAME internal_smtp1
int_service1_smtp2 IN CNAME internal_smtp2
int_service2_smtp2 IN CNAME internal_smtp2
int_service3_smtp2 IN CNAME internal_smtp2

and then in /usr/local/etc/exim/remote-servers:

domain1.tld: int_service1_smtp1::1026:int_service1_smtp2::1026
domain2.tld: int_service2_smtp1::1027:int_service2_smtp2::1027
domain3.tld: int_service3_smtp1::1028:int_sergice3_smtp2::1028

and in /usr/local/etc/exim/configure:

route_data =
${lookup{$domain}lsearch{/usr/local/etc/exim/remote-servers}}
no_more

?

I didn't understand the use of no_retry_include_ip_address, which seems
related to retry control.



Thanks,
