Hello,
Here is my case;
Yesterday one of my websites goes offline for some reason and sent a lot of error mails to a mail account with its own domain. So the host company blocked the smtp port. When I realize this situation in the morning, i disabled the effected domain, and told my host to unblock. They say they unblocked the smtp but after 12 hours none of my websites can not send emails, they receive fine.
From squirrelmail it gives me this error:

Code:
Message not sent. Server replied:

    Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable
    550 User account [email protected] has sent too many emails

When i run telnet command, it gives this:

Code:
telnet xxxxxx.com 25
Trying 89.33.197.92...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out

But my host says, telnet command gives this:

Code:
telnet archisections.com 25
Trying 89.33.197.92...
Connected to archisections.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 server.doctus.org ESMTP Exim 4.87 Sun, 07 Aug 2016 21:19:28 +0300
^]
telnet> Connection closed.

I and also DA support guys checked the server and found nothing wrong really. Firewall seems ok, doesnt blocking any smtp.
Although i am getting brute force attack messages from my servers own ip. Which i believe effected domain (doctus.org) still trying to send error messages.
exim logs have some errors

So any ideas, what might be the problem.
 
here is brute force message, second one is my VPS's ip
A brute force attack has been detected in one of your service logs.

IP 5.248.134.32 has 11 failed login attempts: wordpress1=11
