Outgoing mail IP

[deeh514]

Hello,

One of my clients is blacklisted and while delisting is pending, i was wondering if there was an option in DA to use IPs in /etc/mailips to send out mail. Much like an option in CPanel, for those familiar with it.

I searched the net, but found nothing about it in forums.
The only suggestion for a similar problem was to edit /etc/exim.conf by adding
interface = XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

Any input would be highly appreciated.

Regards,

I'm not familiar with cPanel, but yes, you can change exim.conf.

remote_smtp:
  driver = smtp
  interface = ip.address

Just add the interface line below driver = smtp. Search for "remote_smtp:" which should be in your transport section of exim.conf.

I've moved the thread, but the best course of action would have been to delete it, since this has been previously answered in these forums.

Note that after changing the exim.conf file you must restart exim.

Note also that if you change to another IP# and your server continues to send out spam some blocklists will block the entire /24 in which your IP# is located. That could put you in serious trouble with your provider.
