my Exim mail outgoing queue is getting stuck and i cannot receive emails. Under WHM i have 50 odd emails, some 7 days old.
A small dump from /var/log/exim-mainlog is below:

Everything was fine until about 7 days ago, i dont know why the config didnt change but since then its been dropping received emails and queueing on sends.
One of my clients is receiving spam from his email address. SpamAssassin is not marking it as spam. I have added an SPF record for the domain, but still gets these messages. Is there any workaround for this? I don't want to activate spambox for that.
Here's my problem: I have a client that is having problems with his emails account. When someone sends him a mail from Brinkster.com, a rebound error is received:

This only happens to that specific client. I tried sending a brinkster email to another account on the server, and it works fine. The problem only happens with that specific client..
Is there anyway to capture emails sent using SMPT with exim? I need to find a way to monitor outbound email traffic, along with the subject, message, etc.
I just want to check my email. Unfortunately, my connection dropped while I was downloading mail and now exim wants me to wait for the previous open connection to timeout.
So where is the exim lock file stored by default? I just want to delete it and access my email NOW!
Just started to have problems sending emails out but no problem receiving.
Seems to be a exim problem.. tried updating it but the problem still exist but everytime I restart exim then it works for a few hours before the problem comes back.
For the last 5 days, exim has been retrying to resend email to a recipent every 1 millisecond.
As result, logs are huge, and load is being affected.
So I'd like to know how can I set/configure exim to ingore sending to any email I'd tell it.
I mean is there any config file I can look into, to set a ignore list, or even how to have it so that it retries sending every 1 hour, instead of every 1 millisecond.
I am having issues in receieving emails. For some reason, the rbl lists I had setup are causing the server to reject emails (retry - timeout). So, I need to take this rbl list completely. How can I do that? exim.conf is locked and using the advanced editor is no fun even though I tried it putting the dnslists without the rbl causing the problem.
I have postfix server on my linux server. I have configured it to use SSL on port 25. I can send mail to my yahoo account but when I reply to that mail from my yahoo account to my SMTP server the mail is bouncing back and its giving this error message.

A few days ago I started having some people tell me that they can't send email to me. Basically, they get a permanent failure. It is very hit or miss though as I'm still getting some mail and not others.
There are a few things that I don't know if they could be contributing factors.
1.) I'm using GMail to check my POP accounts on my webserver.
2.) I have been receiving this message when CPanel runs it's updates at night. The version of perl you are running (v5.8.1) is too old. There are known problems that cannot be worked around with this version of perl. It is HIGHLY recommended that you upgrade to v5.8.5 or later. Any module install failures should be ignored until perl has been upgraded as some modules will not be able to install with this version of perl.
3.) I noticed the WHM interface is updated so maybe something upgraded and broke.
I'm running a Cpanel/Redhat server over at ThePlanet if it matters.
Hotmail not receiving any emails from my server nevertheless log files is ok no problem and messages sent every thing is ok recently i contacted with my server's provider to make a ptr record at dns to fix hotmail problem and i shoked when i notice that they put a wronge ip
My Q: is that ptr record is important and it could be the reason for making hotmail rejecting my emails
i recently changed host and after i changed host, i am unable to send emails to hotmail from my mail server. Gmail and yahoo are fine.
The error message from Hotmail:
SMTP error from remote mail server after MAIL FROM:<webmaster@joinmo.com> SIZE=3494: host mx3.hotmail.com [65.54.244.200]: 550 Your e-mail was rejected for policy reasons on this gateway. Reasons for rejection may be related to content with spam-like characteristics or IP/domain reputation problems. If you are not an e-mail/network admin please contact your E-mail/Internet Service Provider for help. For e-mail delivery information, please go to [url]
I also ran a dnsreport and heres the result [url]
I have contacted microsoft but really not sure when they will give me a reply .. meanwhile, if there is any solution to my problem, it would be greatly appreciated.
I moved to a new server today but I think there's one configuration setting causing some problems.
I'm receiving spam in my own mailbox, sent to other people's accounts. My own mailbox is the mailbox to which root and nobody and cpanel addresses are forwarded to. The target email of the spam mails don't exist, so the spam ends up in MY inbox. Any idea what's causing this? Maybe the accounts are not configured to use ":fail:" as catchall address? Though cPanel is configured to use that value as default.
My next question is: How can I change the catchall address of ALL my accounts and set them to ":fail:"? Is there a script I could use?
