[Dovecot] DOES NOT PERTAIN TO DOVECOT: Does anyone use postfix for some help?
When mail is sent from the mail server, it shows up as originating from the MAIN ip address of the server, 173.50.101.11, when the mail server is bound to 173.50.101.12. I have already set smtp_bind_address: 173.50.101.12 in main.cf and 173.50.101.12:smtp inet - - smtpd in master.cf. This prevents smtp connects TO any other ip but 173.50.101.12 BUT mail STILL shows up originating from eth1, where 173.50.101.12 is eth1:2
I think this is *nix related and most here, on dovecot mailing list, could provide help.

DOES NOT PERTAIN TO DOVECOT:
Correct.
Dovecot does not send email. You should probably get on the list for the MTA software you are using.
A similar thread just went on on the Postfix list. I didn't follow it but you can check the list archives.

Ummm... standard list nomenclature:
DOES NOT PERTAIN TO DOVECOT = OT
OT = Off Topic
OT takes up a lot less space... ;)

Ok, so you're using postfix. This is an FAQ on the postfix list.
The kernel determines how mail is routed...
More info is needed to even begin, like output of ifconfig and postconf -n for starters...
Logs may be needed later... but this would be better pursued on the postfix list...
