[Pkg-exim4-users] socket bind failed

[David Liontooth]

Relaying mail from 192.168.0.5 on a private network to 192.168.0.178
works fine if I set

    dc_local_interfaces=''

In debug I see

    Connecting to 192.168.0.178 [192.168.0.178]:25 ... connected

In mainlog on 192.168.0.178 I see this,

    .... [192.168.0.5] P=esmtp S=697 id= ....

Confirming this is the correct IP address.

When I restrict relaying,

    dc_local_interfaces='192.168.0.5'

In debug on 192.168.0.5 I see this

    Connecting to 192.168.0.178 [192.168.0.178]:25 ... failed:
    Connection refused

In mainlog on 192.168.0.178 I get this:

    2007-05-08 01:28:29 socket bind() to port 25 for address 192.168.0.5
    failed: Cannot assign requested address

What am I doing wrong?
