As far as I understand it, this concerns the *destination* address.
It does not allow changing the source address, at least not directly.

I guess I could set up a separate Exim instance that uses a different
source address in conjunction with one of those options. A minor
annoyance is that the message will be stuck on the fallback host, and
all further retries will use the fallback source address.
