 |
|
| Recently my main IP was blacklisted as a spam IP since one of my forums was hijacked and used to send tons of spam in the 'daily updates' emails that got sent from the system. I have since upgraded the forums, removed daily updates feature and cleaned out all of the spam emails that were clogging my mail queue. The issue I am facing now is that I have a couple hundred valid emails that need to get sent to my users so they can activate their accounts, etc, and they wont go anywhere since the IP was blacklisted. I have several other IPs I can use on my hosted server, but how do I change the IP that was being used under 'localhost' to a different one? The rest of my IPs are still fine and not blacklisted. Thanks in advance for your help. |

That really depends on the system you are working on. If it is a Linux server with exim, you might try adding this to you exim.conf
interface = not.blacklisted.ip.address
Change the not.blacklisted.ip.address into any real IP-address of your server (which you can find through ifconfig).
Or try to use GMail as outgoing smtp-server:
