Ofcourse this happens on Xmas day.
I did an update to include Easy Spam Fighter and switch to eximconf_release 4.5 (I think I came from 2.1) and was pleased with how few spam I was getting. In fact I am not getting any mail at all from external now.

Mail from any domain in my DirectAdmin setup is fine and instant, from outside I get nothing.
I can email to anywhere, so outgoing is fine.

I do not see any maillog errors, I do see a huge queue if I type exim -bpc (12000+)
I tried switching ESF, Blockcracking and SA off, but still no mail from external...

49 #Mail Settings
50 exim=yes
51 eximconf=yes
52 eximconf_release=4.5
53 blockcracking=no
54 easy_spam_fighter=no
55 spamd=spamassassin
56 dovecot=yes
57 dovecot_conf=yes
58 pigeonhole=yes

Can someone please help me out, I do not know where to look.
 
Workaround : Went back to eximconf_release 2.1

It works now, but how do I go to 4.5 ? Or don't I need to ?
 
Normally what you changed in options.conf is oke.
After that you have to
./build exim
./build eximconf

I would indeed suggest to also use blockcracking and easy spam fighter at least.

It should normally work by default. If you are getting a receiving queue and the log does not explain, then you shoud have a look at the queue via the queue manager to search for reasons in there.
