Vesta Control Panel - Forum

Upon tying to send email to a forwarded address (setup with Vesta), Gmail is reporting the email is being delayed.

Technical details of temporary failure:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for the recipient domain mydomain.com by mail.mydomain.com. [123.456.789.012].

The error that the other server returned was:
451 Temporary local problem - please try later

I'm not using the DNS provided by Vesta (and therefore don't have it setup), but I have the same records hosted on CloudFlare pointing to the server. Any ideas?

Solved 2/21/14

Original problem: In /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template, I changed "CLAMD = yes" to "CLAMD = no".

Resolution: Instead of changing "yes" to "no", comment out the entire "CLAMD = yes" (so it reads "#CLAMD = yes")

Check the exim log for more details
File location on RHEL/Centos is /var/log/exim/main.log
File location on Debian/Ubuntu is /var/log/exim4/main.log

Looking at the log (/var/log/exim4/mainlog), I see it noted:
I must've missed that when trying to figure out the error last night. However, the "DATA" part of this does ring a bell.

After some more Googling, I went to /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template and commented out "acl_smtp_data", which then brought everything back to life... correlation between "acl_smtp_data and the "DATA" note in the log? I think so.

(further diagnosis)

After looking at that template file, I see that "acl_check_data" calls for "acl_check_data", which checks CLAMD and SPAMASSASSIN. I installed both of these in the beginning, but have since uninstalled CLAMD as I don't have enough free RAM. I'm thinking one of these two services HAS to be the cause of this error...

I set "CLAMD = no" at the top of the template since I uninstalled it, is that not enough? Is there any way to better debug this?

Comment the whole line and restart the exim4 Setting it to no doesn't disable it.

Ah, that worked! Thanks.

I had a similar problem. ClamAV stops often with working and I can't restart it. A very negative side effect is that I can't receive mails. I disabled the clamav scan it seems to work.

Same thing here; I have a system light on RAM as well and I stopped getting emails randomly. Using:

nano /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template

#CLAMD = yes

Closed out and restarted Exim4 and I got my inbox working again.
