Server suddenly stopped receiving / sending mails

Hi ,

Everything was working great until recently when no email would be received or sent. The ports are open , but i cannot seem to find the exim.conf , can someone suggest where it is?

Also , is there some way i can ONLY reset / re-install the mail settings and keep my websites / files the same?

email reply:

Remote host said:
550 relay not permitted
[RCPT_TO]

Also ,

root@maxi: lsof -Pni | grep exim
exim4 14773 Debian-exim 3u IPv4 3559183 0t0 TCP 127.0.0.1 (LISTEN)
exim4 14773 Debian-exim 4u IPv6 3559184 0t0 TCP [::1]:25 (LISTEN)

I have debian 7 installed.

Hi,

thanks for the answer. I looked up there. Its already commented out!??

# If you are running exim4-daemon-heavy or a custom version of Exim that
# was compiled with the content-scanning extension, you can cause incoming
# messages to be automatically scanned for viruses. You have to modify the
# configuration in two places to set this up. The first of them is here,
# where you define the interface to your scanner. This example is typical
# for ClamAV; see the manual for details of what to set for other virus
# scanners. The second modification is in the acl_check_data access
# control list.

# av_scanner = clamd:/var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl
