Exim4 not sending emails, just recieving, I found the same case in this url:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/ ... -recieving

Does anyone know what is the problem? It is a fresh vestacp installation, I tried with Ubuntu 14.04 and Centos, in both with the same error.

cat /var/log/exim4/mainlog

May be different options, but answer in many cases - blocked port. Try to ask your hosting provider: "Why you block me" or something like this. And of course check your IP in MX black list.

Thank you very much,

My hosting provider is Digital Ocean, is it possible to change the port in exim configuration file? Perhaps in this file:

https://github.com/serghey-rodin/vesta/ ... f.template

And after restart the server?

Thanks.

Yep, daemon_smtp_ports it's option.

Check your IP in blacklist -> http://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx

Solved! It was my hosting provider, I send a ticket and they unblocked my ports.

Thank you so much skurudo!
