Hello,

Have you tried:
/squirrelmail
/roundcube

to see if they make any difference? See if you get a similar error or not.

Also, try updating webmail, eg:

cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts
./webmail.sh
./squirrelmail.sh
./roundcube.sh

(for whichever ones you have).

Newer setups will send on port 587 to avoid any RBL issues.

Also, try updating your exim.conf and exim.pl.
Don't forget to re-patch the exim.conf for dovecot, or you'll have problems.

Did it all,

I just reinstalled the whole server with all the new versions. After that i restored all the data directadmin had backupt. Everything works except that i can not email with the user admin. I can recieve email but i can not set it out.

Not true webmail, not true outlook.

In exim you have a section trusted users. User admin is also in that list.

What can be wrong ?

Hello,

The error appears to be exim denying the relay, so shouldn't be related to dovecot.

For system accounts, the /etc/exim.pl would be loooking in /home/admin/.shadow for the crypted password.

1) First try simply resetting your admin password through DA.. and see if the /home/admin/.shadow file gets updated.. it should be filled with crypted text, and chowned to "admin:mail" ... chmod to 640.

2) Failing that, try updating the exim.conf and exim.pl.
If you're using dovecot, *do not forget to re-patch for dovecot*.

3) for whatever webmail program you're using, if it's older, it might be sending on port 25. Try changing it to send on port 587, in case exim is using RBL's which are blocking localhost. The webmail configs are below the /var/www/html in the specific programs directory.
