Hi

When a visitor uses my webform to send me a mail. i do not receive the mail.

i checked the mainlog and i found following error

2013-06-18 13:20:12 1UotxM-00037e-5e <= <> R=1UotxM-00037b-4o U=mail P=local S=1558 T="Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender" from <> ....


What do i need to do to solve this problem?

thnx in advance
 
Isn't it? Why not? If you can receive external mail, why can't it be the webform then?
There is too little information to suggest something else at the moment. Check /var/log/messages and check your Exim's rejectlog if you can find more information on the rejection there.
 
Because the email form worked for 5 years without any error on another hosting..
its not the form
 
On the "MX records" page for the domain click "Save" without making any changes. Then wait five to ten minutes and test again. This happen to me one time, and that solved the problem. If you are lucky, it will fix it for you to.

Not enough information to make an educated guess as to your problem. Try the following:
grep 1UotxM-00037b-4o /var/log/exim/mainlog
and post the results, the are a lot more lines to the email than what you posted, and we would at least need to see what happened to the email along the way. The above command assumes a RHEL type setup, adjust the path to mainlog for your system.
