I can login to mail server using Thunderbird / Outlook, but no messages are recieved and no other users can recieve any messages.

Also I cannot send and connect to SMTP server using 25 port, only 587.

Server log does not shows any special errors:
/var/log/exim/mainlog

What is your domain? naudra.lt?

if so, the mail is handled via Google:

Code:
host -t mx naudra.lt
naudra.lt mail is handled by 5 alt2.aspmx.l.google.com.
naudra.lt mail is handled by 10 aspmx2.googlemail.com.
naudra.lt mail is handled by 10 aspmx3.googlemail.com.
naudra.lt mail is handled by 1 aspmx.l.google.com.
naudra.lt mail is handled by 5 alt1.aspmx.l.google.com.

For issues regarding Port 25:

  • Check to see if your firewall is blocking outbound on Port 25
  • Check to see if your ISP requires you to use their SMTP server for Port 25
  • Check to see if the service is running/listening on Port 25

To check if the service is listening on the port:

Code:
lsof -i :25
COMMAND   PID USER   FD   TYPE  DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
exim    27236 mail    3u  IPv4 3652534       TCP *:smtp (LISTEN)

and then you could telnet to it from an external box:

Code:
telnet <ip address of your directadmin box> 25

For using Gmail:

Please check the KB article to ensure that you have followed specific setup instructions:

No, domain is not naudra.lt (they are our user).
We provide maill accounts for users via Direct Admin.
 
what output does the lsof command produce?

what does telnet to port 25 produce?

what is your domain - do you want us to check it for you?
 
This is solved - my VPS email ports were blocked by hosting provider. Everything was fine with my VPS (Dovecot + Exim)
