But what if I have in inet_interfaces both the canonical and the virtual
(amongst several others) IP interface? In my experience postfix then
choses the canonical for the outgoing smtp traffic, I cannot find a way to
force usage of one specific virtual IP address (like a parameter such as
inet_interface_outgoing).
