A short time later client from def.com logins to Many_Companies.com, accesses their email campaign software running on Many_Companies.com and sends out newsletters. They both access the same software just have user accounts that are different on the same server. Exim uses remote_smtp transport to channel xyz.com messages to interface eth0:1 and def.com messages to the the eth0:2 interface. Those virtual interfaces are mapped to IP addresses that are registered addresses for xyc.com and def.com respectively. Here is the question: Will the received from headers in those messages reflect an origination IP address of Many_Companies.com''s IP address or xyc.com and def.com IP addresses respectively? I need the setup to reflect origination emails only coming from the respective IP addresses for xyz.com and def.com, NOT Many_Companies.com''s IP address. Thank you.
