change a sending exim IP address with another hosting IP address

[FarCry]

I need to send significant number of email addresses. It seems more reasonable to send a part of my emails with my other VPS hosting IP address. I would like to know how can I change the IP address for sending in exim?

I know an easy way. Login to your VPS via SSH. From console edit exim.conf file:

vi /etc/exim.conf

Go to this lines

remote_smtp:
  driver = smtp
  interface = ${if exists {/etc/mailips}{${lookup{$sender_address_domain}lsearch*{/etc/mailips}{$value}{}}}{}}

and change them to:

remote_smtp:
  driver = smtp
  interface = Your-Second-VPS-IP-Address

Save the file and restart the Exim. After finishing with sending of the emails, change back the original settings in exim.conf file.
