The IP has to be available while XMail is starting or running. So you should include server stop and start in your IP up and down scripts. Also make sure that you use the latest XMail version for this.

Checked the routing for this IP ?

QUOTE

    OutBind
        Sets the IP address of the network interface that should be used
        when connecting to the remote host. This configuration should be
        used carefully, because XMail will fail if the selected IP of the
        interface does not have a route to the remote host using such IP.

Hi People,

same trouble with xmail 1.25 on win.

To send a mail xmail uses always the wrong ip x.x.x.2 not x.x.x.3. I tested both given versions

"SmtpConfig" "Outbind=x.x.x.3"
"SmtpGwConfig" "Outbind=x.x.x.3"

Any suggestion?

Many thanks in advance

LDad

Did you use real TABs between the variable's name and content ?
Also restarted XMail ?

Posted by: LDad Jun 18 2008, 07:29 AM
Yes i did,

i think it could be a routing problem . . .

my default route (win) looks like this

net mask gw interf metrik
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 x.x.x.6 x.x.x.2 20

i will try to add

0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 x.x.x.6 x.x.x.3 20

I 'll keep you informed

I've just faced the same problem and finally fixed it.
It has to be
"SmtpGwConfig" "OutBind=x.x.x.3"

Case sensitive it seems, with a capital B in OutBind.
