Mail server on different machine

Hello there.
I have a one dedicated machine at Hetzner, and wants to use a Vesta Control Panel and other tools to provide a more better hosting for my clients (I am a web-developer).

But I have a small problem, hetzner gives me only one "whitelisted" IP, so my mails goes without any problems only from this IP. I use this IP on the host machine, and other clients data located at virtual machines. So my question is: can I somehow configure Vesta CP to work with a mail server located on different "machine"? Is it possible?

Hope you understand my question. Sorry for my bad english. Have a nice day!

It's no simple solution or out-the-box solution. ;-(

You could setup an SMTP Relay on the Whitelisted-Server and then configure Exim as described here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ex ... MTP_server

Yes, I already found this solution with SMTP relay. But it would be very good, if there are some tool or maybe "module" which provide a control to create a mailboxes at external server which configured directly as Mail Server and maybe other thing.
Also the same thing would be great and for DNS support in VestaCP. I am sure, it's may been little hard, but what others think about it? Something like not so centralized panel, where a part of things can be located at other servers...
May you understand an idea. Maybe something like this already exists?
