Thanks a lot for the quick replies.
Andre: No control panel. The config is generated through a script that
I wrote.
Jeremy: Thanks for the input. Hopefully this doesn't go too far afield
but how
is this being dealt with normally?
Exim has support for multiple outbound IP addresses, which postfix did
not, and
was the dominant reason for going with Exim in this case. Do you have
any
idea how this is normally dealt with? I haven't found this a very
common
scenario but there are definitely ISP style mail providers out there so
I hope somebody could shed some light onto strategy.
Best, James
