For some reason all of the emails on my server today are rejecting emails and giving a response saying:
Code: 
host mail.domain.com[IP Address] said:  550 Email blocked by DSBL - to unblock see httt://www.example.com/ (in replay to RCPT TO command)
Can someone please fix this because NO ONE can currently receive emails on this server. I've tried sending emails from multiple servers including Gmail and other people can't send anything to anyone on this server either.

Please help!!! Here is my system information:
Code: 
Apache 2.2.22	Running
DirectAdmin 1.37.0 	Running
Exim 4.67	Running
MySQL 5.0.91	Running
Named 9.3.3rc2 	Running
ProFTPd 1.3.4a 	Running
sshd 	Running
dovecot 2.0.18 	Running
Php 5.2.17	Installed
 
Hello,

Where did you get that error from? So what is your problem: all emails from your server are blocked by all remote mail servers? or none email can get into your server from remote servers as they get blocked? Or what?

Presuming, that's the error from your /var/log/exim/mainlog (is it so by the way?), then you might face a problem with receiving emails from outside. In this case you might need to check exim logs, to see whether all emails are blocked or only those from one particular host? If your mail server on directadmin powered server blocks all incoming emails, then your installation of exim might be messed, and you might need to re-install exim.conf and exim.pl from scratch, read this article to learn how to do it:

or try to update it with custombuild.
 
I fixed the issue by going into the exim.conf file and commenting out the use of DSBL.org as a spam filter.
