Many Problems

This looks as if it's going to require a login to figure out.

Have you contacted DirectAdmin support?

This was posted in TAH's checklist:

Small addition...

I have to execute /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/spam.sh for exim to be able to work.., might save some headaces if you are trying to figure out why the mail won't work..



dont know if thats what your looking for or not but worth a try i guess ;)

Make sure you keep us updated with how things go. :)

Is what i get when i run it.

Mail still dont work
 
Mark / John any idea on this one..... from the looks of that error message, spam.sh is related with spam assasin... would that affect the mail the way it has done?

Jason, you may want to speak to support via live chat or email for a quicker response also :)

dum dum dum dum :p

is it only outgoing mail you are recieveing that error with and also is the problem with outlook (or another external email client? ).

have you tried webmail? if so, does that work?

depending on the answers to the above im about 80% sure i know your problem :)

I did try running the spam.sh and it did it's thing. However the error messages did not go away.



This is from the webmail client. The server has RedHat 8.0 running on it.

---------------------------------------------------------
It was not possible to send this e-mail

SMTP Error: Invalid username/password
---------------------------------------------------------



When I tried to send email to the server from a external domain it says:

Hello,

Can you please resend your server info to us? We don't currently have any support emails in our queue.

ip

Also a link to this thready would be handy so we remember to post a fix :)

WOO HOO!!

My mail problem is fixed. Direct Admin was using the wrong config file for EXIM. Im not sure how to fix it...my host did it...maby someone could shed some light on this.

Hello,

I didn't have a look at what was in the previous /etc/exim.conf file, but the fix is (for exim 3.36):
Code: 
cp -f /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates/exim.conf /etc/exim.conf
/sbin/service exim restart

John, I don't know what was wrong in Jason's file, but on my system the only difference between the two files is that the spam-control data is uncommented in the one that lives at /etc/exim.conf.

Which is as it should be since I uncommented them when I installed the spamassassin.

I don't know how Jason's file got corrupted but I applaud you for keeping "good" files on the system in the even the working ones fail.
