how to setup cpanel to send email for a domain off the IP that is setup for it

[mattjustin]

Ive searched for this solution but it seems that there are older posts relating to this and they dont seem to work for new versions of cpanel.

Im running WHM 11.30.0 (build 23) CENTOS 5.6 x86_64

I have a class c assigned to my box and have multiple urls setup.

Im trying to configure outbound mail to go out on the IP that is configured for that url and or additional specific IP's instead of going out main ip (eth0). The headers print the main ulr and eth0 which is incorrect as its setup for multiple clients.

thanks

You can change this in WHM > exim configuration editor - there's a checkbox to have the account send out with its dedicated IP.

Please note that scripts will still send out using the main IP for the machine if you are using sendmail or the PHP mail() function. To have the script use the dedicated IP once you have checked the Exim Configuration Editor options that follow, you need to use SMTP authentication in the script rather than sendmail or PHP mail() function. Here are the options you would check in WHM > Exim Configuration Editor to have the dedicated IPs automatically used:

** Send mail from account’s dedicated IP [?]
Automatically send outgoing mail from the account’s IP address instead of the main IP address. Warning: If you turn this setting on, make sure that reverse DNS entries match the ones in /etc/mail_reverse_dns.

** Reference /etc/mailhelo for outgoing SMTP HELO [?]
Send HELO based on the domain name in /etc/mailhelo (more information)

** Reference /etc/mailips for outgoing SMTP connections [?]
Send outgoing mail from the IP that matches the domain name in /etc/mailips (more information)

Hello,

I am facing the same issue. What do I need to select exactly to send mail from the domains dedicated ip and to use the dedicated IP helo?

View attachement, if i select Send mail from account’s dedicated IP. the other 2 parts get greyed out and I am unable to select them.

My second question is, I have a clients crm tool setup on our main server. His email gets relayed through another server, smtp settings are all correct and setup, however, I have noticed that the main server still gets referenced in the email header. View header below.

Received: from smtp.secondary.server ([xx.xxx.xx.xx])
	by receiving.server with esmtps (TLSv1:AES256-SHA:256)
	(Exim 4.69)
	(envelope-from <someemail@email.com>)
	id 1QgBS1-0002Yi-D1
	for email.email.com; Mon, 11 Jul 2011 10:02:46 +0200
Received: from main.server ([xxx.xx.xxx.xx] helo=domain.crm.runs.on)
	by smtp.secondary.server with esmtpa (Exim 4.69)
	(envelope-from <someemail@email.com>)
	id 1QgBRy-0007oJ-LV
	for email.email.com; Mon, 11 Jul 2011 10:02:42 +0200

How can I remove this part?

Received: from main.server ([xxx.xx.xxx.xx] helo=domain.crm.runs.on)

	id 1QgBRy-0007oJ-LV

Thanks

For anybody that needs to remove the main header when relaying to an external smtp

add this to your exim.conf just below driver = smtp "headers_remove = Received"

will look like this:

remote_smtp:
  driver = smtp
headers_remove = Received
  interface = ${if exists {/etc/mailips}{${lookup{$sender_address_domain}lsearch*{/etc/mailips}{$value}{}}}{}}
  helo_data = ${if exists {/etc/mailhelo}{${lookup{$sender_address_domain}lsearch*{/etc/mailhelo}{$value}{$primary_hostname}}}{$primary_hostname}}

You should be aware about the changes you are going to make in exim.conf else it will corrupt the configuration causing email problem.
