Ah yes I was so busy looking for a configuration entry I didn't try the
obvious.
The "offending" IPv6 address is shown for my eth0 interface. It is a
link local address generated from the MAC address. I have previously
left the IPv6 stuff un-configured - maybe time to start putting some
sensible data in place.

I'm still using ifconfig which might also be part of the problem. Just
speculating but maybe Exim is checking using the IPv6 address, which
fails, and it then moves onto each interface in turn ultimately landing
on the last aliased address. Time to install some new packages, use IPv6
and do some testing.

Thanks for the pointers.
