Dear all,

(I am not subscribed to the list)

Currently I am using exim4 as mail transport agent (MTA).

I am looking for another one, because I would like to be able to
configure the SMTP server to use based on the address I am using in the
>From header. For instance, if I am sending from my personal account then
I'd like to use one smarthost and SMTP configuration, but if I am
sending from my work address, I would like the MTA to choose my work's
SMTP server as its smarthost. Am I correct that exim4 does not allow for
such a configuration? If it would, I think that would be my preferred
solution, although I find exim4 really big and difficult to apprehend.

I've been mulling over it (and I want to stay with exim) and came to the
conclusion that it should be possible. But I haven't implemented it yet,
so take my conclusion with two fists of salt.

Cheers

It's incredibly easy using postfix sender_dependent_relayhost_maps

One option retaining exim4 is to use postfix as an outgoing mail gateway and forward to it from the exim4 instance.
