In fact, it is 'normal' ... On your xmail server your two interfaces are in the same network. Windows (seems to ?) allways use the smallest ip assigned ... So it will allways use .4, except when you disable the interface.
Note that xmail -Sp 25 direct xmail to 'listen' for incoming = connexions. Choice for outgoing connexions are done at os level. (don't know if it = is possible to force by program to use a specific ip) You could try to set a different network for the current .66 xmail = interface and set default route to the pix ONLY on this interface. Doing so, windows will not have the choice when it want to connect to = ip's not in your local network. You will need to configure the pix too to translate the new xmail ip to = the good .51 external ip. PS: I don't exactly understand why you put two interfaces on the xmail server ...
