Hello;

It is veryfing POP3 and giving this error fort SMPT:

Outlook can not connect to (SMTP) server. If you continue getting this message contact with your service provider.


Thanks
 
Hello;

It was the port which prevents SMTP. I changed it to a 587 instead of 25. Now it worked. Is there any way to prevent email from recognizing as spam by the receiver email box.
Thanks for your assistance.

Thanks&Regards

Use /var/log/exim/mainlog for that, and read bounces body content.

And of course use search function on this forum, or use google to find more information here.
 
Hello;

Thanks. I will use it when i face a problem to see what is going on. I have reinstalled the Direct Admin and everyting is looking fine at the moment. excep a few things like SPAM problem for the mails which i am sending and MYSQL size limit setting and FTP permissions for new FTP accounts, they have inappopriate permissions, like you can not change permissions of the files and folder. I am going to write forum for this.

Again Thanks for the Assistance.

I'm not sure why you posted all those file names.l

Note that the logs for domains hosted on your DirectAdmin server will be found in /var/log/httpd/domains

Check that the IP address of your server isn't in any RBL's. Once it is on them, it can be very difficult to get off some of them. Some large email providers (i.e. Yahoo, Hotmail, ...) have their own RBL's and they may require you to jump through hoops to get whitelisted.

Of course you need to make sure your rdns is set properly, most email servers will reject email sent from servers with invalid rdns settings.
