sending mail via remote SMTP mail server

Hi,
I have a server plays multiple roles as web/database/mail server. It hosts several websites.
However, some of the sites send out huge amount of email per day, therefore, mail carriers, such as HOtmail/yahoo, considers mails being sent from that server's IP (64.62.250.86) address to be spammers.

IN other to reduce that, I set up another linux server at IP 209.172.108.61, smtp.domain.net.

To test it, I use PHP script to send out mail using that smtp.domain.com. The mail goes through nicely, however, as I read from the mail header
from cpanel.domain.com.net (HELO localhost) (64.62.250.86) by smtp.domain.nett with SMTP; 6 Feb 2008 17:08:51 -0800

WIll mail carriers (yahoo/hotmail.gmail....) perceive this message being sent out from IP209.172.108.61? or still 64.62.250.86?

Thanks so much!
