multiple IPs and multiple SSL certificates + single exim

Hello,

I'm trying to get different certificates in single exim instance. I tried
first thing that came to my head:

tls_certificate = /etc/openssl/mail-${interface_address}.crt
tls_privatekey = /etc/openssl/mail-${interface_address}.key
tls_advertise_hosts = *

but that doesn't really work:

"expansion of tls_certificate failed: letter or digit expected after ${"

Any other ideas how to force exim to serve different certificates depending on
to which IP client is connected to?

Here's what I use in our shared hosting enviroment, there may be a
better way, but it does work.

main exim config:
tls_certificate = ${lookup {$received_ip_address}
lsearch{/etc/exim/ssl-cert.map}}

ssl-cert.map:
---
127.0.0.1: /etc/ssl/cert1.pem
172.30.0.25: /etc/ssl/cert2.pem
172.30.0.140: /etc/ssl/cert3.pem

You shouldn't use the extra squiggly brackets there. Ie just do this:

tls_certificate = /etc/openssl/mail-$interface_address.crt
tls_privatekey = /etc/openssl/mail-$interface_address.key

That isn't the problem: you are allowed {} around variable names in a
string expansion. There must be some other syntax error in the
tls_certificate setting that is causing the problem. Extraneous space,
perhaps?

Instead of ${interface_address}
it should be {$interface_address}
^^----------------------- Note the swap!

You are absolutely wrong.

ISTR if you search the archives you will find examples where the
'elements' are constructed more simply.

Something along the lines of:

~ = /path/$interface_address/filename.crt

~ = /path/$interface_address/filename.key

IOW the $interface_address sets the subdir, and all files have the same
name(s).

I may be wrong - that's just from memory.

We just use the same cert for all.

May be you could check using some HEX-dump (xxd, od, ...) if you've
really the letter 'i' there.
