SMTP Smart Host Rules?

Hi All, I want to change our cPanel servers to do the following: - If account has a dedicated IP, send all mail out via that IP (scripts/smtp auth etc) - If on a shared IP and sent via PHP / Website / script / cron / etc send via SMART host (would like the ability to list 2 smart hosts) - If sent via SMTP auth from the server send via account IP What's the best way to achieve this? Our goal is to limit disruption to clients when the server IP gets blocked due to a exploited Wordpress site etc. We're keen on SMART hosts because we can got an overall view of all the scripted / non-SMTP mail leaving out shared servers. On the SMART host if needed we could route gmail.com / outlook.com via a different IP etc if required but I think if we're sending good mail then we won't get blacklisted as often. Any suggestions?

  Hello :) The following thread might be of help: Forward certain domain emails to Smart Host In addition, this document provides information on modifying the IP address that an account uses for sending email: How to Change the Sending IP for Outbound Email in Exim Note that as far as sending from scripts, it's likely a good idea to configure the mailer to use SMTP and authenticate with SMTP AUTH. Thank you.
