Sendmail difficulties after moving from Cpanel

[BigAlGeorge]

sendmail is not working its possibly the configuration which carried over from cpanel:
Path to sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f [email protected]

If you could suggest the correct path info for directadmin and is there a global setting reseller or user can apply for this?

I have gone to the respective domain/error.log but sadly, the hangup is not showing within the log.

Thank you. Al.

Is /usr/sbin/sendmail a symlink to exim? Check that first.

Exim doesn't have a log for individual domains so it seems you may be looking at the httpd log when you say "respective domain/error.log" You have to look at the exim mail logs.

I would expect any logs to be available to the user. To hide exim logs for sysadmin just doesnt make sense.
I sorted it by not using smtp and switching to PHP mail

The exim mail logs ARE available to the admin user. To make mail logs available to regular users would be a security problem.

Apologies, I meant reseller (Im reseller); it appears I have to ask sysadmin each time we have a mail problem or am I wrong?

Yes because all mail for all domains is logged in one combined mail log. That is the way Exim works and not really a DirectAdmin problem.

So what you are saying is that the reseller should not be able to see the exim files, or have I got it wrong?

Email accounts page has In/Out logs per email-user.

I stand corrected. So I go back what said originally. It looks like you are looking at web logs and not email logs. You have to look at email logs to find the problem.
