I know its not my PDA settings as it worked fine for ages and then one day it started doing that, if I use WiFi it will sent fine, but if i use gprs i get that message, but i only get the error when senting messages to a domain on the webserver

EG

[email protected]
[email protected]

are on webserver 1

[email protected]
[email protected]

are on webserver 2

i cant sent email from domain1 to domain2 or the other way around, how ever i can send mail from
domain1 and 2 to domain 3 and 4
and from domain 3 and 4 to domain 1 and 2

i can also sent email from domain 3 to domain 4

its just on webserver 1 thats its not working on

anyone got any idea's?

Thanks

David
 
you can read your pda manual and setup your account with smtp auth (same as pop), or with smtp from your pda account.
This is not DA related problem

there is nothing worng with the pda, i have been using fine for over a year with same account, on the same pda
nothing has changed pda side as far as emails go

and like i said it works fine over wifi so if its a pda setting then 1 it wouldnt work over wifi and second it wouldnt have been fine for over a year then stop, the only thing that i can see thats changed is the webserver with DA updates

looking in to it more its a DA related problem,
webserver 1 has the problem

Compiled for Fedora 4
Server Version 1.28.6
Current Available Version 1.286000

webserver 2 doesnt have a problem

Compiled for Fedora 4
Server Version 1.28.0
Current Available Version 1.286000

not sure why webserver 2 hasnt updated to the latest version, but that can be sorted out later

does anyone know what may have changed bettween
Server Version 1.28.0
and
Server Version 1.28.6

that could bring up this error?
 
Have you tried with auth ?

otherwise have you right smtp ?
You know providers are hardening mail sent out.
Seems you can't set a good config on your pda.

Have you check your server with dnsreport ?

So long you can't answer this, hard to help you.

but again this is not DA related.

yes out going mail requires auth
yes i have the right smtp
we are the provider its our webservers
if it was a bad config on my PDA it wouldnt have worked fine on the same webserver, PDA and setup, for the past year apart from last month when it stopped it working

allthings pass few infos and a warn on Nameservers on separate class C's
no fails
 
Who's your GPRS provider?

They may for some reason not see your webserver.

You should check the /var/log/exim/mainlog file; tail it while sending the email, and see if the server even sees the request from your PDA.

Also check to see if you can get reverse dns for the IP# your GPRS connection uses; it may be that one of your servers requires proper reverse DNS and the other doesn't.

Once you see (or don't see) log entries in /var/log/eixm/mainlog while trying to send an email through the PDA while using GPRS we'll have a better idea as to what may be going wrong.

hi

thanks for you help
i looked in the /var/log/eixm/mainlog
but that didnt show anything been stopped only allowed email, i looked in the exim config to find another log file
/var/spool/exim/msglog/mainlog
and that showed it was blocked due the ip been on a spam block list

only think i cant understand is why it let mail outgoing from the mail server go thru from the PDA, and also allowed mail sent via the pda on the other webserver to this one but blocked mail been sent localy on the mail server

its there a white list i can add my pda ip on to that will override the spam block list check so i can stop this from happening again

i have been on the spam list website and removed the ip but i feel it will be added again as its a gateway for the all/most of gprs connections (i think)


Thanks

There are various whitelist files in /etc/virtual/whitelist_*.

But you have to be careful when using them. You can try whitelisting your sender address.
