Should Disabled IPs also be disabled in Exim?

Hello All,
i recently ran into a situation where email from a client's server was being rejected by Google..

It took me a while to figure out that an IPv6 address assigned to the server by my hosting company was being used by Exim even though it was disabled in the IP Management section of DirectAdmin..

Even though the IPv6 address was marked as disabled (see attached screenshot), Exim was still using it..
in order to disable it, i had to add
disable_ipv6=true
to the file /etc/exim.variables.conf.custom

Seems like an IP that's disabled in the IP Management section of DirectAdmin shouldn't be available to Exim..

Thank You!
