mail.domain.com with different IP for Cloudflare DNS

[triatlas]

I use Coudflare for my website and therefore configured the Cloudflare DNS for my domain's mails:

A domain.com xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
A www.domain.com xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
A mail xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
MX domain.com mail.domain.com
...

The IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the dedicated IP of my cPanel account.
A and MX entries (marked above) are set to no-proxy (gray cloud symbol).

Now cloudflare tells me that A mail entry is unhiding the IP of domain.com so that not all security features can be used.

How can I assign a different IP to mail.domain.com using cPanel?
Do I have to open a separate - mail only - account with mail.domain.com and use that one for my mails with own dedicated IP then?
Or can I just ignore the cloudflare hint about unhiding the IP of the mail domain and live with that fact?

How do you handle this case? Happy to hear you opinion!

I assume you are using the VPS or Dedicated server and If you have an additional IP address on your server then the workaround to this would be pointing the A record of mail.domain.com to the secondary IP as below:

A mail xxx.xxx.yyy.yyy (xxx.xxx.yyy.yyy is secondary IP address hosted on your server) - set to no-proxy.

Thanks for your reply! I have a dedicated WHM managed Server with multiple free IPs and the account itself has a dedicated IP.
How does the routing know that the newly assigned other IP is linked to may cpanel account's mail?
