My clients doesn't have email accounts on their hosting, only forwarders that forward tree emails to one gmail account. (We made it like this because they had problems with overflowed inboxes.

THey only have forwarders (not email accounts on server) to one gmail account. But few days before it was stop to work.
I tried this command

# tail -fvn0 /var/log/exim_mainlog
to get real time monitor and if I try to send some email to one of their emails (that must forward to gmail) I got this result:

2013-07-03 19:28:55 1UuQrP-000696-I7 SMTP connection outbound 1372872535 1UuQrP-000696-I7 adpgroup.hr [email protected]
2013-07-03 19:28:55 SMTP connection from 5-43-176-28.dsl.optinet.hr ([10.46.***.***]) [5.43.***.***]:53289 closed by QUIT
2013-07-03 19:28:55 1UuQrP-000696-I7 => alticom <altico[email protected]> R=archive_outgoing_email T=archiver_outgoing
I'm not sure what this means. Is there some error or not?

If we try to send emails to some email on alticom.hr (domain of my client) he does not get them forwarded to gmail. But direct sending to gmail works without problem.

Hello :)

Try sending an email to one of the forwarded email addresses from a test server (.e.g. Yahoo, Hotmail). Then, use the following command to see the output of this message in the Exim log file. EX:

Code:
# exigrep [email protected] /var/log/exim_mainlog
Let us know the output of this command.

Thank you.

It's possible there is a firewall or network filter enabled that is blocking connections from your server to GMail. You can try testing this with a command such as:

Code:
# telnet gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com 25
Thank you.
