Clarification needed - How to set up account so mail is sent from own IP?

Hello,

Currently our cpanel servers are configured so that all email is sent using the same "server" IP address. Consequently, if that "server IP" gets blacklisted, then it affects every customer.

My understanding is that it is possible to setup cpanel so that individual cpanel accounts are able to send mail using their own dedicated IP address. So this way, if the "server IP" gets blacklisted it will not affect these "dedicated IP" customers, since they would be sending their email using their own IP. (And if their dedicated IP gets blacklisted, it will not effect any other customers.)

Is this correct?

I found this page here in the cpanel documentation: Changing the Sending IP for Outbound Email in Exim

The documentation is a little confusing for me, though. (My wife says I'm slow...)

Can someone explain *exactly* what settings are needed to enable our servers so that a customer with their own dedicated IP address will send mail through their dedicated IP and *not* be effected when the regular "server IP" is blacklisted?

Specifically, what should these three options be set to?

If I enable this feature, would I still need to manually edit these two files?

Thanks for any help!

So you are saying that we must manually edit the 2 files? This is what I don't understand.

The documentation page says:

This is why I am confused.

I would have thought it would be the opposite:

ON
OFF
OFF

Maybe someone from cpanel could step in and let us know...

What is the proper settings if we want this to be automated. So if we switch a customer to or from dedicated IP, we don't have to manually edit files, etc...

Thanks.

Anyone from cpanel care to chime in? My question is pretty specific. Should I submit a support ticket?

Thanks.

Is there any way to do this (allow customer to send mail from dedicated IP) without having to manually manage those files?

What I am looking for is something very simple. Basically, if we switch the customer to their own IP address... cpanel will "figure it out" and mail the customer sends will be sent from their dedicated IP.

Is this sort of simple solution possible? Or do we have to manually manage/edit those two files every time we switch an IP?

Thanks.
