Simple steps of changing your exim IP

Hey Remeber : You need to set RDNS for the IP then and then Only you can proceed further.


If you are in the danger of getting your main server IP block by SpamCop because you had a few anoying spamers abusing your server then you could simply change your exim mailserver IP to avoid the effect of your main IP beeing blacklisted…………


Below are some simple steps of changing your exim IP


Inside both incoming and outgoing exim mail server you will need to add an interface :
so just edit


pico /etc/exim_outgoing.conf


and


pico /etc/exim.conf


find
remote_smtp:
driver = smtp


and add interface = ip.you.want.to.use


example as shown below:


________________________
remote_smtp:
driver = smtp
interface = 22.22.22.22
_________________________


IP needs to be on server in order for this to work, hopefully this will help :)
BTW: Just a reminder – If there is an exim update when you upgrade your cpanel server you will need to re-enter the interface again
