Change Exim SMTP IP Address
How to Change Exim SMTP IP Address on Linux Server :# You can change the IP address that exim uses to send mail by changing the following in my exim.conf a follows:
remote_smtp:
driver = smtp
to:
remote_smtp:
driver = smtp
interface = 123.123.123.123
But the problem is that the change gets overwritten with cpanel updates. But you can use the following solution, which worked perfect until I upgraded to cpanel 11:

There is another way to change the outbound IP for exim from within the configuration editor in WHM so it does not get overwritten?
Resolution :
In WHM on Exim Configuration Editor, rewrite two routers, There is an edit box bellow "ROUTERS CONFIGURATION", Box is before "lookuphost" router,
Put these lines to that box:
(7th box from top in exim configuration)
Quote:
mylookuphost:
driver = dnslookup
condition = "${perl{checkspam}}"
domains = ! +local_domains
ignore_target_hosts = 0.0.0.0 : 127.0.0.0/8 : 64.94.110.0/24
headers_add = "${perl{mailtrapheaders}}"
transport = my_remote_smtp
myliteral:
driver = ipliteral
condition = "${perl{checkspam}}"
domains = ! +local_domains
headers_add = "${perl{mailtrapheaders}}"
transport = my_remote_smtp
Then move down to "TRANSPORTS CONFIGURATION", On edit box there (just up the remote_smtp transporter)
put these lines:
(12th box from top in exim configuration)
Quote:
my_remote_smtp:
driver = smtp
interface = 72.29.75.244
This will be permanent and will not change by CPanel updates.
