Not without source code changes: src/smtp/smtp_connect.c:smtp_connect_addr() ... if (bind(sock, res0->ai_addr, res0->ai_addrlen) < 0) msg_warn("%s: bind %s: %m", myname, bind_addr); so failure to bind the requested address is logged, but is not fatal. Why does the address get de-configured? You should be able to bind it provided the interface is administratively up, even if it is not working. -- Viktor.
