Assuming that you are using Exim.

Open /etc/exim.conf and go to 'TRANSPORT CONFIGURATION'

Comment out the existing 'interface' entry and add the following line :-

interface = X.X.X.X
(Replace this with the IP that you want to use)

After making the change, this part of the file should look something like this.

 remote_smtp:
  driver = smtp
#  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}}
   interface = x.x.x.x

Alternatively, you can just put the IP in the file '/etc/mailips'

There are also several settings in WHM that would allow you to move the IP address of Exim, including the ability to use a different IP for accounts with static IPs.
