Well, obviously.  If the address is not bound to an interface on
the machine on which you're running, how exactly are you
supposed to listen on that address?  The purpose of bindaddr
is to LIMIT the addresses bound to on your machine, if you
have more than one and you only want to listen on one
particular address.  Otherwise, just bind to 0.0.0.0 (which is a
special address which means to bind to ALL interfaces on the
machine).
