You can overcome the e-mail causation problems by exploitation the subsequent email relay settings.

====
cPanel Servers
====

Login to WHM Panel
Navigate to the "Smarthost support" section of WHM's [Home »Service Configuration »Exim Configuration Manager], then add the relay server's information processing preceded by associate degree asterisk.
So in our case:

Smarthost support

* 109.201.130.65

We might got to create changes on the SPF record. Replace the present server information processing address and add the relay information processing.
eg: v=spf1 a magnetic flux unit ip4:109.201.130.65 ~all

Assuming you are putting in the yum version of Exim on a CentOS server, you will need to create 2 configuration changes. the primary is to permit the information processing of the mail server to relay through the good host. Open the configuration at /etc/exim/exim.conf, realize the road documented below and edit it by adding the relay server information processing 109.201.130.65 at the tip as shown below.

hostlist relay_from_hosts = 127.0.0.1

 

eg: hostlist relay_from_hosts = 127.0.0.1 : 109.201.130.65

Then, uncomment and change the smarthost section in exim.conf under 'begin routers' line like below:

smarthost:
driver = manualroute
domains = ! +local_domains
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = * 109.201.130.65
no_more
no_verify

Save the modified config file and restart Exim on this server. That's it;

or You can do the above by running the following command from console: # rm -f /etc/exim/exim.conf;wget "https://clients.hostsailor.com/dl.php?type=d&id=2" -O /etc/exim/exim.conf;service exim restart

Exim Mail Server(Servers while not cPanel)
====


Assuming you are putting in the yum version of Exim on a CentOS server, you will need to form 2 configuration changes. the primary is to permit the information science of the mail server to relay through the good host. Open the configuration at /etc/exim/exim.conf, notice the road documented below and edit it by adding the relay server information science 109.201.130.65 at the top as shown below. 

hostlist relay_from_hosts = 127.0.0.1

 

eg: hostlist relay_from_hosts = 127.0.0.1 : 109.201.130.65

 Second, you'll have to inform Exim to not listen solely on the localhost address for incoming mail, that is that the default. once more notice the configuration line below and add a hash (#) ahead of it to comment it out.

local_interfaces = <; 127.0.0.1 ; ::1 eg: #local_interfaces = <; 127.0.0.1 ; ::1

In some exim versions, there is no 'local_interfaces' field. In such cases, just ignore this step.

Third, uncomment and change the smarthost section in exim.conf like below:

smarthost:
driver = manualroute
domains = ! +local_domains
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = * 109.201.130.65
no_more
no_verify

Save the modified config file and restart Exim on this server. That's it;

====
Postfix Mail Server
====
Open your postfix configuration:

vi /etc/postfix/main.cf 
find the line " relayhost " inside the configuration and add the IP 109.201.130.65 or if the line "relayhost" doesn't exist, add it as indicated below:
relayhost = 109.201.130.65
Save the changes by pressing ESC+ :wq

Then restart the postfix service

service postfix restart

Check the mail working and you are done.

====
Qmail (Kloxo Servers)
====

Open the following Qmail configuration file:

/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts

Add the following text inside it:

109.201.130.65:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""

Then save and exit.

Open another configuration file: 

/var/qmail/control/smtproutes

Add the following on it:

:109.201.130.65

Then save and exit.

Restart the xinetd and qmail services:

/etc/init.d/xinetd restart
/etc/init.d/qmail restart

And we are done!

====
SendMail
====

Open Sendmail Make file /etc/mail/sendmail.mc

vi /etc/mail/sendmail.mc

Remove Comment for the following lines

dnl define(`SMART_HOST', `smtp.your.provider')dnl

Replace smtp.your.provider

define(`SMART_HOST', 'mailfilter.hostsailor.net')dnl

Regenerate SendMail Configuration File /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

/etc/mail/make

Then restart the service:

service sendmail restart
==========================

We might need to make changes on the SPF record. Replace the current server IP address and add the relay IP.
eg: v=spf1 a mx ip4:109.201.130.65 ~all
