email not working

[linuxlearner]

Hello,

I'm new to linux and directadmin. Now i'm playing with it, and so far i have a problem to get email pop3 to work. I noticed vm-pop3d stopped running.

How can i get vm-pop3d to run on SSH (root) ?


Thanks.

service vm-pop3d start

try it.

thanks, i did it already, also restart and even reinstalled it by following http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3979&highlight=vmpop3d+install

any time, i use start it shows [OK]

and for Restart

Shutting down vm-pop3d: [FAILED]
Starting vm-pop3d: [ OK ]


then i checked the status on DA service monitor, it still shows vm-pop3d is Stopped running

i got vm-pop3d dead but subsys locked when using

service vm-pop3d status

what's wrong with that?

I just checked the mail log:

vm-pop3d[24869]: Couldn't bind to socket: Address
already in use


any one has idea what's going on and how to fix it.

ok, i found dovecot using 110 and i uninstalled it. vm-pop3d is running now.

however i can send an email as it says

SMTP Error: Recipient not accepted. Verify your relay rules

or 550 relay denied...

What should i change in the exim.conf ??

Current settings is:

domainlist local_domains = lsearch;/etc/virtual/domains
domainlist relay_domains = lsearch;/etc/virtual/domains : localhost
hostlist relay_hosts = net-lsearch;/etc/virtual/pophosts : 127.0.0.1

hostlist auth_relay_hosts = *


Sorry to bother you guys so much. This is my first day with linux

I sent a few emails successfully via Outlook and Squirrel but it never reach Yahoo mail.

Look at your logs to see if the mailserver is even trying Yahoo.
