I cant Send Emails (but can receieve them)?

[Aziz]

Greetings,

I have searched for my problem an found many posts with users that had the same problem as me, just nothing they did worked for me..

My emails were working at all time, it was just suddenly I can not send any emails..

It was working... boom now its not working.

I have never messed with any configuration whatsoever!

My emails mx records are all good:

Name                       Type                Value                      
ftp                              A                   207.234.212.216  
islamgiftshop.com.     A                   207.234.212.216  
localhost                    A                   127.0.0.1  
mail                            A                   207.234.212.216  
pop                            A                    207.234.212.216  
www                          A                   207.234.212.216  
islamgiftshop.com.     NS                 ns1.marsaldesign.com.  
islamgiftshop.com.     NS                  ns2.marsaldesign.com.  
mail                           MX                  10

Can someone guide me to the right direction. I am the admin of the server and the problem is with all domains in the server.

Emails sent are authenticated, I think the mistake is with my ISP. Can I change the port from 25 to another one of which it will work?

Thanks in advance,
Aziz

Changing smtp ports isn't that great for receiving mails

Could you give us some log info of exim:

/var/log/exim/*

Right after you've sended a mail, that didn't work!

Aziz, you need to tail your /var/log/exim/mainlog while you're trying to send an email, and see if the mail is even hitting your server.

Also try sending email logged in through one of the webmail programs and see if you can send email that way.

Greetings Guys,

Thanks alot for your help.

I have tried to send an email from a different account connection (verizon) and it works just fine...

now i think its just cablevision thats blocking port 25, I tried port 26 and still no use..

I guess I have to use my isp's smtp (last resort)..

Thanks again,
Aziz

Cablevision will definitely be blocking port 25.

I had the same exacct issues.. heres your fix.


To make use of the newest exim settings and enhancements, you can update your exim.conf by running the following as root:

wget -O /etc/exim.conf http://files.directadmin.com/services/exim.conf
wget -O /etc/exim.pl http://files.directadmin.com/services/exim.pl
chmod 755 /etc/exim.pl
cd /etc/virtual
touch whitelist_from
touch blacklist_domains
touch use_rbl_domains
echo 0 > limit
mkdir usage
chown mail:mail whitelist_from blacklist_domains use_rbl_domains limit usage

Then restart exim:
RedHat:

/sbin/service exim restart


FreeBSD:

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/exim restart


This came right to me from DA support staff. worked great.

kind regards, Zyrohost
