Hi.

Some time ago, we talked about specifying the source address for outgoing mail 
with the SOURCE_ADDRESS setting in courierd config file.

Now I have a related question:
How can I specify a source address for outgoing mail differently for IPv4 or 
IPv6 connections? Using SOURCE_ADDRESS as I understand it, this effectively 
disables IPv6 message transmission for that server.

Sam stated last time, that it's up to the kernel to use a correct source 
address for outgoing connections. I did not find anything how to configure a 
source address for just one application and one protocol family in Linux 
kernel scope. If someone can point me to any docs for the right part of Linux 
to do this, this would be good.

Alternatively, Sam, you can see this as a feature request for some config 
element to do as stated above.

The background is, that my IPv6 connection is not native but via 
6-in-4-tunnel. When doing outgoing connections, the kernel assigns the 
tunnel-endpoint-address and none of my routed subnet. This is not good 
regarding to reverse DNS (that I only have for my routed subnet) and SPF.

regards, Bernd
