Email forwarding to external email addresses stop working

[Dmitri Pritsker]

• CENTOS 6.7 x86_64 standard

• WHM 11.52.0 (build 17)

• Looks like starting Ocotober 19th , 2015 our email forwarding to external addresses stop working. Internal addresses forwarding still works. Maybe the recent update cause the issue?

• Bounced back email :

• (ultimately generated from **** 'hr-jobs @ example.com)
  check_mail_permissions failed to complete or set a status

• Any ideas? I do not think we have changed anything on our end - it was working fine for years.

• THanks,

Hello

Could you search for one of these messages in /var/log/exim_mainlog and let us know the output? EX:

exigrep [email protected] /var/log/exim_mainlog

Ensure you post the output in CODE tags and remove any domain/IP identifying details.

Thank you.

i think its because they removed Courier and now using dovecot only

 

[Dmitri Pritsker]

Do you know what do I need to do to be able to forward to external addresses? Forwarding to external addresses only work when sending email from internal address. Internal forwarding work no problem. Please advise.

cPanelMichael - do you have a suggestion?

Thank you.

Do you notice any output when running the "/scripts/check_cpanel_rpms" command?

Thank you.

 

[Dmitri Pritsker]
