Hello,

You have to disable Send mail from account's dedicated IP if you want to avoid overwrites to that file. Documentation on the supported method of making that type of change is available at:

How to Configure the Exim Outgoing IP Address - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation

Thank you.
