Thanks for that. I'd suggest the man page for this is somewhat lacking
in detail:
dc_local_interfaces
List of IP addresses the Exim daemon should listen on.
If this
is left empty, Exim listens on all interfaces. Sets
macro
MAIN_LOCAL_INTERFACES only if there is a non-empty value.
vs:
dc_local_interfaces
List of IP addresses and port numbers the Exim daemon
should listen on.
of the form [<ip address>]:<portno>;[<ip
address>]:<portno>;... **
If this is explicitly set to empty
(dc_local_interfaces='') Exim listens on all interfaces.
If this is not explicitly set, a default using localhost
will be used.
Sets macro MAIN_LOCAL_INTERFACES only if there is a
non-empty value.
(I suspect the above is not the full story , it's what I've gleaned
though trial an error)
**Poor meta syntax on my part since '[' is literal while '<' is meta
syntax ... I'm guessing there is a better "house style"
