    Can you be more precise? Is it that you are connecting from a email client to your server and are unable to send mail? If so, it is likely that port 25 is blocked by your ISP (it's fairly common practice nowadays). Instead, set up Exim to also listen on port 26 and try connecting on port 26 instead.

    i am asking ISP and allow for 25 port.
    i think iptables block 25 port.
    csf (ConfigServer Security & Firewall ) install and running on server.

    WHM - Service Manager - Exim on another port - enable 26 and save
    Change the port from 25 to 26 on your email client and then check again.

    IMHO, not a really good idea -- other SMTP servers connect only to port 25, so you won't be able to receive e-mail from other servers.

    Agreed, many administrators have Exim set up to listen on port 25 (since that's the standard port mail servers expect to connect to) AND port 26 (merely because it's not blocked by end-users' ISPs).

    Smile Thank You!

    Hi,

    I was on a shared server where the server admin didn't want to figure out why I couldn't send mail, but I'm sure this is why. My ISP (rogers) blocks port 25, which is dumb because EVERYONE uses port 25 for email. Anyways, I have to use port 26, which means that unless Exim is looking at port 26 for emails then I won't be able to send any. I'm now on a VPS with WHM and I love that I can fix things like this myself with very little experience and knowledge.

    Thank you for posting this info,

    Sean.

    Go to WHM -> Service Configuration -> Service Manager and scroll to the bottom of that page. Check both checkboxes for Exim on another port and set the port to 26 then click save at the bottom of the screen.
