Unable to receive any emails

Last few days my clients on this particular server haven't been receiving any emails which is a bit of a worry as I use the same server for my emails too.

I have tried sending test emails from my gmail and hotmail accounts to my email address on the server and they never arrive in my inbox. I've just had a few message delayed emails on gmail that basically says the recipient server did not accept our requests to connect, connection dropped.

I can login to webmail fine, no errors, and no errors with pop3 either.

my /var/log/exim/mainlog says:-

Code:

I have changed my domain name with domain.net.nz above. I'm not too sure what these errors mean or how to proceed next. I did update DirectAdmin on this server recently, but that's the only thing i can think of that's changed that might effect it.

Hope someone can help, thanks
 
Without real information there's nothing for any or us to test, so you're on your own. Try shutting down all firewalling.

Thanks Jeff,

It turned out to be a simple fix. There was a problem with my custombuild options.conf so exim wasn't getting updated. When I tried to update exim it said that It is not set it in the options, even though it was. So I downloaded new options.conf, checked to make sure custombuild version was set to 1.2 and edited the rest of the options to my requirements, updated exim and it works again now. Just catching up on the emails I have missed over the last few days :)

Code:
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
mv options.conf options.conf.back
./build
./build update
./build exim
