Hi All, I am looking to set a dedicated IP for Exim. From this article: How to Configure Exim's Outgoing IP Address - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation It would seem that you cannot have a dedicated IP for Exim and also at the same time allow people with dedicated IPs to send from their IP. Am I correct in this?

  Hello :) It's possible, but you will have to manually configure the /etc/mailhelo and /etc/mailips files:

  Hi Michael, I have followed the guide here: Changing Exim's Sending IP - The cPanel Admin To set this up initially, go into WHM > Exim Configuration and enable this option: ** Send outgoing mail from the ip that matches the domain name in /etc/mailips (*: IP can be added to the file to change the main outgoing interface) [?] Or, in /etc/exim.conf.localopts, add/change this line: per_domain_mailips=1 Then run /scripts/buildeximconf service exim restart *The /etc/mailips file should be root:exim, chmod 440 if it doesn"t already exist. [Removed - setting /etc/mailips to immutable can result in several problems, including failed account creation attempts] Now for actually changing the IP: Changing the IP Globally If you want everyone on the server to send out on the same IP, just add the following to /etc/mailips: *: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Then add the IP and it"s matching PTR to /etc/mail_reverse_dns: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx hostname.tld This will tell Exim to use that IP for any sender on the server. Will this also work?

  The documentation in steps in my previous response describe the supported method of defining a default IP address and defining specific IP addresses for specific domain names. The method in your last response is outdated and doesn't reflect that /etc/mailips and /etc/mailhelo are automatically overwritten when enabling the option to send email from an account's IP address. Thank you.
