My mail server suddenly went into chaos. Everytime I send out an email it
retruns me back an email automatically telling me example:
"unrouteable mail domain "gmail.com".
"unrouteable mail domain "yahoo.com".
Etc.
I try to reinstall exim
#/scripts/exim4 --force
I even reboot the server but nothing works.
I have started facing this problem on my cpanel server recently... I cannot send any mail from the server.. through webmail/outlook/php-scrpts etc..
every time mail returns with the message...
unrouteable mail domain "gmail.com"
I have checked solutions given in some other threads.. but those doesnt seem to work in my case..
I have checked dig gmail.com and dig mx gmail.com from shell.. its resolving properly..
What could be the error?
suppose my domain is mydomain.com, my sendmail may send email to any domain name except local domain, say, sendmail may send email to hotmail, yahoo or any other domain name, but when send email to emailbox under mydomain.com, sendmail log will say domain not found.
My situation is my server does not have DNS service, my DNS service is outsourced, and MX record also is outsourced.
I've been getting a lot of "Undeliverable" emails sent to my email address. On these messages, the spammer is using my email on the "From" part of the email...... So whenever he sends out spam, the person(s) getting spammed think it's from me..... And the thousands of Undeliverable email error messages are also sent to me.
Is there a way to stop this from Happening? ....... Besides changing my email address?
I have a problem to send email to idn domain names.
The error that I have is
Validation failed for: xxx@xxx [pid 111655 on line 754 of "/usr/share/psa-horde/imp/lib/Compose.php"]
I have a dedicated server with godaddy and it has squirrel mail/sendmail/dovecot etc installed on it. I am able to log-in to squirrel mail but when I try to send email, it fails. Even it's not able to receive email. I restarted sendmail but it still does not works.
I tried to send email through command line but it does not work either.

Here is what happened:
We have been running our web/ftp/application/mail server for about 4 years, and running flawlessly. This week one of the computers in the network was infected with a virus that was sending spam like crazy. We got blacklisted, as per this site mxtoolbox.com. Our domain is affordablerto.net. Since then we have isolated the problem, klilled the virus and are no longer blacklisted. But we are not able to send or receive any emails now. I wrote mxtoolbox and there reply was basicly "We can get you up and running if you pay us". I called our ISP and they stated that the ports(25) are open. When I do an smtp diagnostic from mxtoolbox I get the response that Argument 'Length' must be greater or equal to zero.
When I go to dnsreport and input our mail server (mail.affordablerto.net) I get ERROR:
The parent servers say that the domain mail.affordablerto.net does not have any NS records (although they may have some other information on that zone).
When I put in our mail server under mail test I get this Getting MX record for mail.affordablerto.net (from local DNS server, may be cached)... There is no MX record for mail.affordablerto.net! That's bad. Checking for an A record... Got it!
When I put in our domain I get this...well I can not put a link in yet - the software here says I need to take 5 posts before I can link anything. Go ahead and try it yourself.
I am not sure what most of this information means. I am in contact with our DNS provider and they keep on trying to sell me some solution. So does mxtoolbox.
I don't know what to do.
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.
I have a Windows server + Helm 4 + smartermail 4.
I found that my server today all users web scripts suddenly cannot send the contact form mails, membership registration mails to outside user. (all acripts code by asp.net)
I try to use many form mail scripts, all als
I keep having certain domains being hijacked and mass emails being sent from them somehow. I've disabled mail within domain control panel for each domain and issue keeps occurring. I've limited # of emails as well to 2-5 per hour but now so many are trying to be sent from my server it is clogging up mail queue and I have to log into server via ssh and run postsuper -d ALL every day or two. It is very frustrating. The only way I can stop it is to disable domain in plesk panel but that is not an option.
What can I do to find the cause of this issue and stop it?
