You can explicitly specify 'mx00.mail.bellsouth.net' in esmtproutes.
Yes, but that won't work because mx00 and mx01 will not relay mail for me. I need to send the mail to 'mail.bellsouth.net'. This means it has to get to either 205.152.59.16 or 205.152.59.17. Is there any way to do this without hardcoding one of those two IPs?
No problem, just use mail01.mail.bellsouth.net.
