x-doamin.com sends email to y-domain.com that also located on my server is ending with "Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender" also the same if someone is sending e-mail from there webs.

* i have tried to update Exim nothing changed

here is the log file from exim mainlog:

Anybody? HELP PLZ...

nobaloney · Nov 16, 2010

I'm responding only to your lltwo most recent posts, #4 and #5.

It appears that some program or user local user is trying to inject mail into smtp using an improper authenticatated login attempt. If I'm correct, then dvhost.lv is on your server. If so, then find the program trying to send the email and set it to use the sendmail interface to send mail.

I have figured it out myself, but it took me a while!

Thanks for respond and i hope someone can use this for solving they problem!

So here was my solution:

I have created new "/etc/virtual" folder

This is the link
http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=66

Then updated Exim to latest version

and that`s it!

p.s. I`m still guessing where i got the problem...
p.s.s. and if someone uses different e-mail services outside the server for example gmail or other.
Or to resellers panel and activate DNS control, then login to users account and look for MX records, then at the end you will see checked box for server handling your emails. Un-check the box and save otherwise other users from your server will not be able to send email to users who have mail server on other server ex. gmail or they own office mail servers and etc.

Exim compiling errors

I have centos 5.5 with directadmin installed using the tutorial in these forums.
After stating the mail services etc it fails to receive any mails to the server.
So i followed guide in this post, as did my friend in post above. Rebuilt /etc/virtual dir then went to recompile exim form source as in this post.
All was good till i went ot make. It errors out as below. Please help as i need a working email server so as to regain many accounts for hosting site i run.

Still no mail into server

After many hours now and help from you who knows who still no use.
Mails sent to this host name on this server are not being received. #I am now desperate to solve this even thinking of installing postfix on another server to receive mails form this domian.

Any help would be appreciated with this problem.

Kind regards
