Automatic update of /etc/mailips and /etc/mailhelo when adding new domains in cPanel

[rinkleton]

When you have EXIM set to send mail from each account's own dedicated IP, and you have an account with a dedicated IP, and then you add a subdomain to the account it doesn't automatically set things up on the spot so it also sends emails from the subdomain using the dedicated IP. I think it does when you assign the IP to the account in the first place.
The only way it does is if you go into WHM and hit save on the EXIM configuration. It seems like this rebuilds everything. Is there a way to trigger this from the API?
