[root@elatha][/var/log/exim]$


thats the tail of mainlog.

Any ideas?
 
You should check out /var/spool/mail/diradmin's mailbox to see why it's not sending out.
I guess 'address unroutable' or something, is your exim.pl in /etc/ correct ?
 
heh

first of all i have no /var/spool/mail heh and second off, exim.pl is standard. I havnt modified anything.

Maybe because mail server is trying to connect to elatha.magicshells.com and not mail.magicshells.com maybe? i dont know. This is where i need admin input. No i wont be giving root access out. So ask me what needs to be pasted / pastebin'ed and ill paste to help you help me ;)

thanks
 
If you don't have a /var/spool/mail directory then you can't receive emails for any of the server users.

So that's the first place to check for problems.

I have NO /var/spool/mail, i CAN recieve emails. So this is not the case.

I also have a /var/spool/exim does that help?

[root@elatha][/var/spool/exim]$ ls -la
total 10
drwxr-x--- 5 mail mail 512 Jul 24 06:31 ./
drwxr-xr-x 12 root wheel 512 Aug 15 16:12 ../
drwxr-x--- 2 mail mail 512 Jul 27 07:21 db/
drwxr-x--- 2 mail mail 512 Aug 15 16:09 input/
drwxr-x--- 2 mail mail 512 Aug 15 16:09 msglog/
[root@elatha][/var/spool/exim]$


I still cannot send emails, but i can GET emails perfectly and on time.
 
/var/spool/mail is where server accounts get email.

/var/spool/exim is where outgoing mail spools are located.

/var/spool/virtual is where individual domain name email accounts are located.

What OS distribution are you running?
