CPanel aside, not sure how much flexibility you will actually have if
you do not actually own that server or at least have 'root'.

Sure. (at least) two ways:

BFBI:

- invoke two separate instances of Exim, specifying a different ~/configure file
for each.

Bind each to just one of the IP's.


More Elegant:

- run one instance of Exim with a slightly more complex ~/configure file, one
specifying the interface to be used for each (list of) domains.

Details for each are plentiful in the list archives, but you should probably
first see which approach is the least hassle to set up and admin in your
particular RHEL+CPanel situation.

But since you mention otherwise,

'BFBI' = "Brute Force and Bloody Ignorance"
