The smtp_bind_address did the trick. Thanx! The only strange thing is
that when I do a 'postconf -d' and grep for the option, it doesn't have
the IP address I configured associated with it. But when I look at the
logs of another MTA under my control, I can see that the SMTP session is
bound to the right IP address.
