I can't receive any emails from outside on my server with Debian 5 (32 bit) and directadmin (emails sent from the server itself with php work fine).

I always get the following error with EVERY mail account I use to send emails:
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

[email protected]
SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<[email protected]>:
host mx1.2x4.ru [92.241.168.113]: 554 5.7.1 <[email protected]>:
Relay access denied

The mail accounts I use to send emails definitely work (also tried my home privat address), so it has to be a problem with the server.
Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks
 
Are all your domains listed in /etc/virtual/domains? is there a subdirectory for each of your domains in /etc/virtual? In each of those subdirectories is there an alias file?

You can attempt to run exim -bh 12.34.56.78 replacing the number, of course, with an IP# known to not work for you, and then emulating an email protocol transfer manually, to find the specific cause of the error. You can learn how to do that in some posts in these forums and by searching exim -bh on the exim.org site.

Thanks for your reply.

is there a subdirectory for each of your domains in /etc/virtual? In each of those subdirectories is there an alias file?

Yes there is;)
It contains just a single line: domain: domain*: :fail:
It's the same in every domain directory (with the correct name of each domain).


Is there no easy way to find the cause of the problem? I can send emails from domain1 to domain2 on the server (using Outlook). But every mail from outside the server gets returned to the sender.
 
Thanks for your help.
I tried updating the exim settings as described here, but I still can't receive emails.

Any ideas?

Well don't keep us in suspense. What is the message that gets returned? It tells you why it got returned.
 
It's the message I quoted in my first post.
No matter with which of my email accounts I try to send a message to an account on this server. I also get the quoted message returned to the sender.
 
I'm sorry I forgot about the rest of the message since I though it wasn't important. However, I was obviously wrong, sorry.
Here it is:

So what does it say? Why can't I receive emails on that domain?

I am not going to even try if you keep hiding your email address. This is ridiculous. Obviously your email is not [email protected] so forget it. We would just be guessing as to the problem. We do not even know that it is making it to your server at all.
