the e-mail server doesn't work

[statskij]

1. I instolled directadmin.
2. Create username, but the system doesn't send the password of a user.

It seems like mail server doesn't work at all.
Help me please, what should I do in order to solve a problem?

P.S. use web server litespeed.

Yesterday I had my car towed to the mechanic.

He asked what was wrong and I told him: It doesn't run.

He told me it could take thousands of dollars to find the problem unless I could give him more information.

So give us more information; what makes you think the mailserver doesn't run at all; have you tried to send other email to it or through it? What's the name of the affected domain, is the user's email address at the same domain you're adding? What's the IP# of your server?

Or else you can just send me $590; that's what it cost me to get the car fixed; I'll log in and fix your server and you can pay for my car repair .

when the server tries to send mail these words appear:

Everything is said in the mainlog: you have to add an A record fo domain "********.net" pointing to your main server ip address in DNS.

Generally I do not respond to munged information; I'll try but if you need further help from me then you'll have to replace the asterisks with whatever was really in the logs. While I understand why you may not want to make the domains known, it's impossible to do any required testing without them.

/var/log/exim/mainlog/
008-06-12 23:54:40 1K73BI-0006tR-KP == diradmin@********.net R=localuser T=local_delivery defer (13): Permission denied: cannot create /home/diradmin/Maildir/

your system is trying to deliver email to the diradmin user. The diradmin user does NOT have a mailbox. If this is a standard DirectAdmin installation and you didn't do anything to tell the system to send email to or from the diradmin user, then you should contact DirectAdmin support.

2008-06-12 23:54:49 1K73BI-0006tJ-36 ** sectrans@******.ru F=<diradmin@********.net> R=lookuphost T=remote_smtp: SMTP error from remote mail server after MAIL FROM:<diradmin@**********> SIZE=3034: host relay1.vsu.ru [62.76.169.14]: 572 diradmin@*********.net host name is unknown

proHSP has (perhaps simplistically) explained the problem the above log line points out: recipients are trying to make sure your server exists, and it appears to not be properly resolving in DNS.

2008-06-12 23:54:49 1K73BR-0006tn-3d <= <> R=1K73BI-0006tJ-36 U=mail P=local S=2957 T="Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender" from <> for diradmin@*******.net

The above says the mail was returned to the diradmin user from the Mailer Daemon (<> means a message from the Mailer Daemon). Was the message received anywhere? If not, then you can probably find it in the mail queue.

Exim is finished with this mail delivery.

2008-06-12 03:16:19 Exim configuration error in line 289 of /etc/exim.conf:
  user majordomo was not found

Impossible to determine the above without seeing line 289 of your exim.conf file and perhaps ten lines above and below it, but it appears that majordomo is not properly installed on your DirectAdmin server.

2008-06-12 04:02:39 1K6kZ8-0006Vr-Rl User 0 set for local_delivery transport is on the never_users list

DirectAdmin never delivers to root; you need to crate a forward for it, perhaps using a .forward file in your /root directory.
