Assuming the following setup:

Client from xyz.com logins to Many_Companies.com, accesses their email 
campaign software running on Many_Companies.com and sends out newsletters.

A short time later client from def.com logins to Many_Companies.com, 
accesses their email campaign software running on Many_Companies.com and 
sends out newsletters.

They both access the same software just have user accounts that are 
different on the same server.

Exim uses remote_smtp transport to channel xyz.com messages to interface 
eth0:1 and def.com messages to the the eth0:2 interface.

Those virtual interfaces are mapped to IP addresses that are registered 
addresses for xyc.com and def.com respectively.

Here is the question:

Will the received from headers in those messages reflect an origination 
IP address of Many_Companies.com's IP address or xyc.com and def.com IP 
addresses respectively?

I need the setup to reflect origination emails only coming from the 
respective IP addresses for xyz.com and def.com, NOT 
Many_Companies.com's IP address.

Thank you.
