Problem with Mail

[Gvidco]

I basically have the same problem that in this post:
http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=35130

"Message not sent. Server replied:
Bad sequence of commands
503 5.3.3 AUTH not available"

"socket bind() to port 25 for address (any IPv4) failed: Address already in use"

and lsof -i :25
shows:
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
sendmail- 13787 root 4u IPv4 1555082239 TCP localhost.localdomain:smtp (LISTEN)

I don't know what to do next or how to fix the problem, can somebody help me?

Thank you.

Do

kill -9 13787

now start exim

/etc/init.d/exim start

and try again if its working.

And if sendmail (the program, not the link) is installed on your server, remove it. After you do that you may need to install/reinstall a link.
