That still goes towards my point, which was that the host
uses the address of the interface that's outbound for the
connected socket.
Remember: the original point was that if a host is
multi-homed {A.A.A.A, B.B.B.B, C.C.C.C}, that it is
incorrect behavior to say "EHLO [B.B.B.B]" on a
socket that is bound to any local interface *other
than* B.B.B.B.
