OVH VPS Cloud Debian Wheezy - some tips with exim
Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2014 2:25 pm
Hi all,
I don't know if the following can apply to your case, but if you own a OVH's debian vps cloud 2014, you could check this, maybe it can help if install script don't run because exim4 is already installed
Exim4 is default MTA with these kind of vps, so Vesta's install script will stop.
First, purge exim4:
After purge, check orphaned .deb and purge them
Now, you can launch install script
After install, try to send you an email
If you receive your test mail, there's nothing to do. if you don't receive your test mail, first of all, check your firewall rules
and verify, at least, tcp port 25 is open.
If open, check mail queue
if your test mail appears there, so, you have to check your conf :
check if exim4.conf and update-exim4.conf exist in /etc/exim4/,if not try this :
restart exim4
If you don't receive your mail, check mailq, if mail still stuck in mailq then :
and configure following your needs.
Hope this could help.
