Thanks Andre. I already have the multiple IPs working though.

The point of the setup is to segment the senders, as one would in a
dedicated IP.
Much like what is offered through your major bulk mail senders. But as
gone
over everybody seems to get penalized in the following manner:

- ip address 10.1.1.1. sends to many messages too to AOL who then
temporarily blocks his IP address.

- Exim decides not to retry AOL because it blocking 10.1.1.1

- 10.1.1.2 tries to send to AOL, exim doesn't try because it's
hints indicate it's not time yet but it's based on the
OUTBOUND IP of 10.1.1.1

I don't believe I've got this right and I'm open to any
suggestions.

Best, James
