How-to: Sending emails using IP address per domain in exim (Directadmin)

Posted on Oct 23, 2014

To be able to send mails via different IP per domain, You need to do the following changes in the /etc/exim.conf file:

Find the ‘remote_smtp:’ part, and add line

1

interface = "${lookup{$sender_address_domain}lsearch{/etc/virtual/domainips}{$value}}"

It should look something like:

1
2
3


remote_smtp:
  driver = smtp
  interface = "${lookup{$sender_address_domain}lsearch{/etc/virtual/domainips}{$value}}"

File /etc/virtual/domainips syntax:

1

 >domain.tld: ip.add.re.ss

That’s it. Create the domainowners file, restart exim, and You are all set!

pssst… If You want to automagically generate domainips file by IP addresses that are assigned to users in DA - check out this POST.
