Remote SMTP setup
If you are using cPanel with Exim and want to relay your email through SendGrid, go to Main > Service Configuration > Exim Configuration Editor, click on the Advanced Editor button, and enter the following:
begin authenticators
sendgrid_login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
client_send = : username : YourSendGridPassword
Only include “begin authenticators” if it’s not already in the configuration.
Add a route in the Router Configuration Box:
send_via_sendgrid:
driver = manualroute
domains = ! +local_domains
transport = sendgrid_smtp
route_list = "* smtp.sendgrid.net::587 byname"
host_find_failed = defer
no_more
Add a transport to the Transport Configuration Box:
sendgrid_smtp:
driver = smtp
hosts = smtp.sendgrid.net
hosts_require_auth = smtp.sendgrid.net
hosts_require_tls = smtp.sendgrid.net
Once you have completed and saved all changes to Exim’s configuration files, you will need to restart it to activate those changes:
$ /etc/init.d/exim4 restart
