How to change whm mailing ip

Changing the mailing IP in WHM (Web Host Manager) is a relatively straightforward process. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you do so:

Prerequisites:

  1. You have access to your WHM account.
  2. You have a valid cPanel license.
  3. You have a backup of your email accounts and data.

Step 1: Access WHM

Log in to your WHM account using your credentials.

Step 2: Go to the "Mail Server" section

In the WHM navigation menu, click on "Mail Server" under the "Email" category.

Step 3: Click on "Edit Settings"

In the "Mail Server" section, click on the "Edit Settings" button.

Step 4: Scroll down to the "Mailing IP" section

In the "Edit Settings" page, scroll down to the "Mailing IP" section.

Step 5: Select a new IP address

Choose a new IP address from the dropdown menu or enter a new IP address in the text field. Make sure the new IP address is not already in use by another service or account.

Step 6: Save changes

Click the "Save" button to apply the changes.

Step 7: Verify the changes

To verify that the changes have taken effect, you can check the "Mail Server" section again or use the getmailserver command in the command line to retrieve the current mailing IP.

Important notes:

  1. Changing the mailing IP may affect the delivery of emails to some recipients. Make sure to test your email setup after making the change.
  2. If you're using a third-party email service or application, you may need to update the IP address in their settings as well.
  3. If you're experiencing issues with email delivery after changing the mailing IP, you may need to adjust your DNS settings or contact your email provider for assistance.

Remember to always backup your email accounts and data before making any changes to your email setup.
