Outgoing Headers List Dedicated IP and Shared IP

[dkz]

Hello,

I am trying to stop my e-mails from going into spam/bulk folders for yahoo and hotmail with my accounts that have dedicated IP's for.

I have the option enabled in the cpanel exim config to use the dedicated ip and the e-mails go out from the primary IP but it looks like they are forwarded from the shared IP to the dedicated IP and then sent out. The headers list the shared ip then the primary IP.

Is this normal and would it cause spam filters to go off?
Here is a copy of the headers.

The line in question is in bold.
Thanks for the help!

See if this helps sort it.

Thanks for the link. My only question is with

primary_hostname = vps.domain.com

Since it's for a few domains, how would I configure it so it uses the domain that is sending the email?

Would this work?

primary_hostname = ${lookup{$interface_address}lsearch{/etc/exim_primarydomain_list}{$value}}

The file /etc/exim_primarydomain_list would be a new file with a list of ip's and the matching domain.

Do you have both WHM options in the Exim Config Editor under "Domains and IPs" checked?

If so have you confirmed the proper entries exist in /etc/mailhelo, etc/mailips and /etc/mail_reverse_dns (see yet another link here: http://forums.cpanel.net/505493-post3.html)?

Then adding the lines:
primary_hostname = "your server name here"
smtp_active_hostname = ${if exists {/etc/mailhelo}{${lookup{$interface_address}lsearch{/etc/mail_reverse_dns}{$value}{$primary_hostname}}}{$primary_hostname}}
smtp_banner = "${smtp_active_hostname} ESMTP Exim ${version_number} \#${compile_number} ${tod_full} \n We do not authorize the use of this system to transport unsolicited, \n and/or bulk e-mail." should do the lookup and send on the correct IP.

Also from another forum:

One last thing remaining, the Received: lines also contain the primary hostname. The following code should use the virtual domain like the above lines and will fall back to the primary hostname if the virtual domain isn't using a dedicated IP and/or not listed in the domainips files.

Seach for the "smtp_banner" string and below it add the following (as of Exim 4.68):

Code:

received_header_text = Received: \
${if def:sender_rcvhost {from $sender_rcvhost\n\t}\
{${if def:sender_ident \
{from ${quote_local_part:$sender_ident} }}\
${if def:sender_helo_name {(helo=$sender_helo_name)\n\t}}}}\
by $smtp_active_hostname \
${if def:received_protocol {with $received_protocol}} \
${if def:tls_cipher {($tls_cipher)\n\t}}\
(Exim $version_number)\n\t\
${if def:sender_address \
{(envelope-from <$sender_address>)\n\t}}\
id $message_exim_id\
${if def:received_for {\n\tfor $received_for}}



At least that's what working for us.

(One note - I'm seeing an additional space after the first primary_hostname entry which seems due to a forum or code anomaly.)

So with the primary_hostname, does it matter if the server has many dedicated ip sites. Is it possible to have each domain name use it's own hostname listing or does it have to be the server's primary hostname.

And, yes I do have the option enabled in WHM. I also review the config files and everything looks good.

Is it possible to have each domain name use it's own hostname listing.

Yes, that should be what you are seeing by implementing and testing this setup.

If not perhaps you can report back on what changes you had to make?
