In cPanel\/WHM, Exim uses the main server’s IP to send emails, it can be changed to any other available IP in the server using the following procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can also consider it as a temporary workaround to the blacklist problem due to spam issues, and as mentioned, it is a temporary solution, you have to make sure that you identify and stop the outgoing spam mails from the server, for a permanent resolution to the blacklist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

a) Get into WHM
b) Search for Exim Configuration Editor<\/a>
c) Check the box next to:
d) Send outgoing mail from the ip that matches the domain name in \/etc\/mailips
e) Now click on Save

g) Edit the file \/etc\/mailips
h) Add *: ReplacewithnewIP
i) Restart the exim service on server , with service exim restart command
j) Now edit the exim configuration file with command vi \/etc\/exim.conf
k) Find the entry remote_smtp
l) You can see an entry shown as below<\/p>\n\n\n\n

remote_smtp:driver = smtp interface = ${if exists {\/etc\/mailips}{${lookup{$sender_address_domain}lsearch{\/etc\/mailips}{$value}{}}}{}}\nhelo_data = ${if exists {\/etc\/mailhelo}{${lookup{$sender_address_domain}lsearch{\/etc\/mailhelo}{$value}{$primary_hostname}}}{$primary_ho stname}}<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
You have to change it to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
remote_smtp:\ndriver = smtp\ninterface = 1.1.1.1 # Change to your server IP address.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
