    can recieve all mail on all domains, every time i try to send mail, they are only sent to my whm mail queue manager, and not to recipient?
    so incoming mail is ok, but how do i get the "outgoing Mail" to go out?
    can someone please advise me how to accomplish this and resolve this issue?
    thanx ;

    Check your mail logs for the error.

    You can check the logs at /var/log/exim_mainlog

    root should have access to /var/log/exim_mainlog, what is the exact command you ran for which you got this permission denied error. perhaps exim log is chmoded to 000. Make sure exim is running on your server and also try this command from your local computer's command prompt.

    telnet yourdomain.com 25

    Perhaps the outgoing port is blocked.
    1 solution works for all problems. Trying harder!

    can't anyone give me a hint, i know it's probably something simple because, everything works but mail?
    ssl works, whm - cpanel - and all site software works, I'm fuzzy on the following;

    DNS ZONE;
    topgunmike.com. 86400 IN NS ns1.topgunmike.com.
    topgunmike.com. 86400 IN NS ns2.topgunmike.com.

    ns1 14400 IN A 68.178.150.65

    ns1 14400 IN A 68.178.151.97

    topgunmike.com. 14400 IN A 68.178.150.65

    localhost 14400 IN A 127.0.0.1

    topgunmike.com. 14400 IN MX 0 topgunmike.com.

    mail 14400 IN CNAME topgunmike.com.
    www 14400 IN CNAME topgunmike.com.
    ftp 14400 IN CNAME topgunmike.com.
    cpanel 14400 IN A 68.178.150.65

    whm 14400 IN A 68.178.150.65

    webmail 14400 IN A 68.178.150.65

    webdisk 14400 IN A 68.178.150.65

    tgms 14400 IN A 68.178.150.65

    ns1 14400 IN A 68.178.150.65

    ns2 14400 IN A 68.178.151.97
    ,
    The NamedServer ns1 and ns2 are Registered namedservers [through GD]
    Please advise me if this looks correct, Thanx.

    Thats because you're trying to exec it - run cat /var/log/exim_mainlog or tail /var/log/exim_mainlog to get the last bits of the log file

    Login to WHM then go to Service Configuration - Exim Configuration Editor - Uncheck "Sender Verification Callouts" if checked. Something to check..

    it was checked, but, unchecked made no difference,
    I added more to the previous post,
    can this be a DNS or Resolver problem?
    or is it only a mailserver issue?
    I'm far from savy on the DNS & Resolver configuring.

    upon cpanel restart, i saw some issues that i don't quite understand;

    Starting SMTP Tweak: SMTP Mail protection has been disabled. All user may make smtp connections.

    There was a problem setting up iptables. You either have an older kernel or a broken iptables install, or ipt_owner could not be loaded. [FAILED]

    Starting tailwatchd: Cpanel::TailWatch::Eximstats appears to have unprocessed SQL in /var/cpanel/sql at /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/TailWatch.pm line 67.
    [Fri Dec 26 14:38:27 2008] Starting /usr/local/cpanel/libexec/tailwatchd daemon
    Log is at /usr/local/cpanel/logs/tailwatchd_log


    any advice will be valued, thanx, Mike.

    There are a few posts about the unprocessed sql on the forums here.

    I checked http://www.intodns.com/topgunmike.com and found that the name servers are not properly configured in your WHM.

    Make sure you've assigned IP's to your name servers as well as the DNS zones exist, if not add those restart named, after a while the issue would not exist.
