Hello,

I just ported an old server of mine (in the same datacenter) to a newer one where I transfered accounts from vestaCB (at debian 7) to myvestaCB (at debian 11). Everything worked out fine, but I got a mailing issue that is really making me some troubles:

I can receive Emails but I cannot send them (in 2 ways):

-) Whenever I send to gmail addresses I will receive a bounce back saying that after a while: "all hosts for 'gmail.com' have been failing for a long time (and retry time not reached)"

-) Whenever I send to other email addresses I would not receive any failure and the mainlog at /var/log/exim4 would even suggest that the email was sent, but it never arrives anywhere (nor is in any junkbox or alike). That would be a copy and paste of such a process from mainlog:

2022-01-04 19:11:53 H=77.119.231.172.static.drei.at ([192.168.5.87]) [77.119.231.172] Warning: Sender rate [limitlog]: log / email / [email protected] / 2.7 / 1h

2022-01-04 19:11:53 1n4pDt-0002bN-Fr Completed

I am trying to fix that problem now for a whole day and had not been able to. I am really desperate on a fast solution here as this is a productive server and I need the emails up working fast again and would be willing to pay someone if he/she only would fix the problem fast. I hope for soon replies.

Thanks a lot guys.

Did you put reverse DNS for IPv4 to be the same as server hostname?

Try to clean up exim queue:

Code: Select all

exim -bp | awk '/^ *[0-9]+[mhd]/{print "exim -Mrm " $3}' | bash

Then clean up retry database:

Code: Select all

/usr/sbin/exim_tidydb -t 1d /var/spool/exim retry > /dev/null
rm -rf /var/spool/exim/db/retry
rm -rf /var/spool/exim/db/retry.lockfile

/usr/sbin/exim_tidydb -t 1d /var/spool/exim retry > /dev/null
/usr/sbin/exim_tidydb -t 1d /var/spool/exim reject > /dev/null
/usr/sbin/exim_tidydb -t 1d /var/spool/exim wait-remote_smtp > /dev/null

service exim4 restart

Then try to send email to gmail, and copy-paste here latest lines from exim4 mainlog.

I didn´t XXX out so you can see more detailed (but will later on in order to prevent google from indexing the whole emails).

You tried to restart exim retry database, as I suggested?

If you want, send me SSH root login via private message, I will take a closer look.
