I notice I'm unable to email to my hotmail account. But I don't see any error messages. I am able to email to my yahoo account fine. I am using WHM which means exim is being used for the mail server.

Can anyone determine what the problem is based on the following?

bash-2.04$ echo test |/usr/sbin/sendmail -v receiver@hotmail.com
LOG: MAIN
<= sender@mydomain.aaa.myhost.com U=sender P=local S=314

need to check whether you have set the hostname of your machine properly.

Go to your mail queue and look for the test mail. Try to resend it and see if you get any error message.

You can also check

/var/exim_mainlog /var/exim_errorlog and /var/exim_rejectlog.

Grep for your hotmail email and see what are the messages relating to that send. There may be added info.
