Major problem... Please help!

[jim.thornton]

I have a client site setup on my server and it is bouncing emails back that are valid addresses. I'm not sure if this is a problem with exim or a problem with Spamblocker.

I've changed the email addresses in this message so that the spambots don't pick them up, but... Can anyone tell me why this keeps getting bounced.

I've tried sending to the same email address from a different emailbox on the same domain and it works. For some reason, it isn't working on this account though.

UPDATE: This only seems to be sending this from within webmail. I have tried both RoundCube and SquirelMail and both fail.

You didn't post the actual error.

[jim.thornton]

I don't understand what error you are looking for. That is everything that was in the bounced email.

Jeff is probably asking about the error message(s) in /var/log/exim/mainlog file.

I just tail'd the log file and tried to send the email again. Here is what the entry was:

I don't know what it means though.

It seems to be happening ONLY with this particular domain as the recipient, that I have noticed. I can send to gmail accounts and stuff. I don't know if it is happening with other domains but for sure any mailbox on this domain as the recipient doesn't work.

I don't know if it is happening with other domains but for sure any mailbox on this domain as the recipient doesn't work.

Did you check the permission and ownership of "mail" files for this particular domain? This article might help: http://servertune.com/kbase/entry/34/

 

[jim.thornton]

I solved the problem... I think.

It was happening only on a domain that I had setup in my DA but hadn't actually transferred the DNS to point to that DA account yet. So, my SMTP server was looking on my server, finding the domain, and it failed because there were no email boxes setup yet.

Thanks for the help!
