sendmail config / send with specific ip

[falko]

Yes, but is host.domain pointing to x.x.x.x or y.y.y.y?

host.domain resolves to x.x.x.x. Anyway, it's not that big of a deal. Thanks for trying, though.

Then you must change host.domain's A record so that it points to y.y.y.y instead of x.x.x.x. Then it will work.

I managed to get mail sent from the server, but I did not receive the email.
I am not sure smtp server is relaying or not.
any guidance how to check?

Did you see any activity in the receiving server's mail log when you sent the mail?
