I figured that when I edit anything through WHM, I'm working basically with the files "exim.conf.buildtest" & "exim.conf.local" - which then change the file "exm.conf". So, if I make the changes in all three files from root then it stays even after daily update. There are two more files with default configurations - "exim.conf.dist" & "exim.conf.mailman2.exiscan.dist". I think they meant for replacing exim with the default configuration. I still couldn't figure out a way to bypass the dns check for some IPs. I was wondering, if I can use rules like: "require verify = sender : !+rbl_whitelist". I didn't check it but I was thinking of testing different things with my one of my clients online. Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.
