I'm just trying to figure out how to change the ip from the console, as my 
GUI is broken in that area. I have 2 NICs installed and 2 ip addresses. I 
want to change the primary IP to a new one.

Checking my MX record I have a forward entry as: 

mail . domanname.net  Forward   xx.xxx.xxx.51 

and an mx record as:



domainname..net  Mail Highest   mail.domainname.net 



What started all his was after the box was initially set up, I must have 
gotten hit before securing the server's email. thousands of bounces came 
through in a couple of days and the ip got blacklisted. The ip is clean 
except one minor list and Google.

Thank you

Tom
