As log shows, you are using "interface" option to bind local_ip to mail1.merlins.org = 209.81.13.136. Your host has two addresses: 209.81.13.137/28 and 209.81.13.136/32. This configuration looks valid, however, post here output of ip route list ip rule list ip route get 194.156.89.55 from 209.81.13.136 telnet -b 209.81.13.136 194.156.89.55 25 Then run Exim under "strace -e network -s200 -o exim.strace" and post resulting exim.strace. PS. I assume host 194.156.89.55 is reachable for you, because your logs list it as callout target. -- Eugene Berdnikov -- ## subscription configuration (requires account): ## https://lists.exim.org/mailman3/postorius/lists/exim-users.lists.exim.org/ ## unsubscribe (doesn't require an account): ## [email protected] ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
