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

    When I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Thanks!
