Hello all,

I'm having a big problem with sending e-mails.
When I send an e-mail I'm getting back the next message:
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

Click to expand...

This is ONLY happening when I send an e-mail to a domain that is NOT at my own server.
So sending e-mails local works fine, but sending mails to another domain does NOT work at all. They don't receive it and my message is getting bounced...

What can this be?

Disk quota's aren't a problem (heard this could cause it, when used cPanel, so tried it, maybe it was thesame for DA, but not)...

Need help.

Thanks

Kind regards,
Luke Banning

You should check your email logs /var/log/exim/mainlog

You can even run the following command while sending an email to see what is happening:

tail -f /var/log/exim/mainlog
 
In addition, my maillogs says this, all the time about this messages.
Note: exim says this after a couple of minutes till one hour (15 minutes ~ 1 hour)

When sending it only says the following:

No more, probably just trying and trying and trying or something like it...
