Hi,

Our mail server has multiple IP addresses assigned to it's network adapter. When we send mail, qmail is using the first IP address assigned to the adapter, but I want to make it use one of the others. I've read that there was a patch by Markus Stumpf added to qmail 1.03 to do this (we're running netqmail 1.05), but I can't find anything about this patch on the LWQ site, and the link from the qmail.org site to the instructions on how to use it is broken. I've also found suggestions via Google to do this with an iptables rule. With all that said, I have a few questions:

Is the Markus Stumpf patch included in netqmail 1.05?

If so, can someone point me to where I can find the instructions on how to use it?

If the patch is included, would it be optimal to use the patch, or iptables?

Thanks!
Phil
