Pkg exim4 users - May 2011 - Direct messages to specific IP or SMTP server

Hello All,

I am new to Exim and could use some help.  I am trying to figure out how 
to direct outgoing messages to a particular IP address or smtp server.  
Assuming an email campaign has several smtp servers each with their own 
IP address at their disposal, how could Exim help in analyzing the email 
message parts/domain to direct this message to, for example, 
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and that message to, for example, yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy

Thank you.

man exim4_hubbed_hosts?

If that isn''t enough, you need to provide more information, or
familiarize yourself with exim routers.

Greetings

I believe you misunderstood me, but maybe not and I may be the one 
confused.  I''m new here.

I do not want to route messages to a remote smtp server, I want to 
specify which specific IP address an outgoing message should go through.

The server has one nic card with 5 ip addresses (via ip aliasing).  The 
mailing platform has different companies sending newsletters and 
outgoing messages from different companies and they must be segregated 
from each other so one senders mailing reputation does not influence the 
other.

Is hubbed_hosts the way to do this or is there some other mechanism for 
specifying delivery route and ip address?

thank you.

No. Your request was unclear to me. It is not any more.

Use an appropriate lookup in the remote_smtp transport.
