Updated needed on the help item "Force exim to send email from a particular IP"

The help item Force exim to send email from a particular IP needs to be updated as in the recent versions of exim and exim.conf installed by custombuild 2.x the proper way to change remote_smtp IP address is to edit the file /etc/virtual/domainips and add:

*: YOUR.NEW.IP.ADDRESS

This method works as the new exim.conf file includes the above file by default:

# cat /etc/exim.conf | grep -A5 -i remote_smtp:
remote_smtp:
  driver = smtp
  headers_add = "${if def:authenticated_id{X-Authenticated-Id: ${authenticated_id}}}"
  [B]interface = <; ${if exists{/etc/virtual/domainips}{${lookup{$sender_address_domain}lsearch*{/etc/virtual/domainips}}}}
[/B]  helo_data = ${if exists{/etc/virtual/helo_data}{${lookup{$sending_ip_address}iplsearch{/etc/virtual/helo_data}{$value}{$primary_hostname}}}{$primary_hostname}}
.include_if_exists /etc/exim.dkim.conf

Well, it does say that:

SpamBlocker 4.3.1+ and DirectAdmin 1.47.0 has the ability to do this automatically based on the owned IP:
http://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=1692

And in that Feature URL it also say (for the edit needed to exim.conf):
NOTE: current exim.conf 4.4.x already have these sections, so no need to edit your exim.conf.
