Hi,
I have recently set up WHM on a cloud server, and I am having problems sending mail. I do not receive notifications from cPanel, and sendmail does not work at all. I have a web site running but without mail functions including php mail, but the DNS servers are OK and I can traceroute domains. If I run the mail troubleshooter on an email address, it reports the correct lookup host.
In WHM the mail queue has every email in it that has been sent so far. The mail delivery reports are either 'retry timeout exceeded', 'connection timed out', or 'retry time not reached for any host after a long failure period'.
If I try to use sendmail from the command line, I get this in exim_mainlog:
I have changed the Exim listening port from 25, although I don't see how this would cause a problem sending mail. Apart from that, everything is still in the default configuration when WHM was set up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
