Hi there, there is a Linux server with a DirectAdmin panel that has an auto-backup feature every day. The problem is that the email backup notification hasn't been working since one day.

This is Logs of it.

Can Change Email address of email backup notification?
Root mails are never allowed by default through exim.

There are 2 methods to fix this. Login via SSH as root to your server and:
1.) Edit the /etc/aliases file and at the bottom add:
root: [email protected]
and restart Exim,
or
2.) in the /root folder create a .forward file (mind the dot!) and put [email protected] in there.

Ofcourse change [email protected] to an e-mail address you want to receive root mails too. This does not need to be a domain which is residing on the server.

In your case, you better not use gmail but indeed something that does not block you. If that does not work, change your admin e-mail address from Gmail to something else.
