One of my servers starting rejecting all email from Hotmail (only, apparently) and is giving the following error:


temporarily rejected RCPT : Could not complete sender verify


I tried
/scripts/updateuserdomains and
/scripts/mailperm (which did fix many permissions) but it still fails with the same error, (apparently this just started like 2 days ago).

Do you have a caller-id type of setup ? Where your server does a VRFY command on the sending server ?

hmmm not sure

not of what I know, it's a vary standard RHEL setup with WHM/CPanel....

same here can't send emails all day today

RHEL + cPanel/WHM !

it seems a bug

what does it give you ? timeout connecting to server?

no timeout just the above error: temporarily rejected RCPT : Could not complete sender verify

I have many servers and it seems to be happening only on 1 server

same here so many servers and only one.

try restarting cpane/exim and see

i even tried reinstaling exim, no luck

this may be related to your DNS, not to Exim.

this is the errors, other people complains also @ cpanel forums.

Different errors here... The problem mentioned by the thread starter may be related to resolv.conf or something like that.



Bashar: have you tried /scripts/mailperm? Is your /etc/localdomains ok?

guess what i was able to send via mozilla

Ouch :D

im getting the same problem too.

nope sending out from www.hotmail.com still generates the same error:

2004-03-22 08:47:38 H=(hotmail.com) [207.68.162.20] F=<xxxxxx@hotmail.com> temporarily rejected RCPT <sales@xx***********>: Could not complete sender verify

u got freebsd box ?

check if u have /etc/exim.pl

if not copy it from /usr/local/cpanel/bsdconf/exim/exim.pl

also run /scripts/exim4-rh73test
and
/scripts/rebuildeximbsd
/scripts/upcp --force

somehow one of them fixed the problem @ my box :D

If you really need to send these e-mails ASAP, an initial measure could be disable 'Verify the existance of email senders' on 'Exim Configuration Editor' (WHM - Basic Mode), or manually edit the ACL.

I had this problem too, but it used to work. I had to turn off the "verify existance of email senders".

I tried

/scripts/updatenow
/scripts/upcp
/scripts/exim4
/scripts/mailscannerupdate
/scripts/mailperm

in various combinations and none have solved the issue completely...

They sort of did fix it, but my servers share same top level domain such as:

server1.domain.name
server2.domain.name

Seems email is being rejected from some of these as they are not primary MX for domain. I even set mail zones for the subdomains and all inthe name zone and all, I am sure it is right cause whe I did nslookup set type=mx it said it correctly. Still this is fscking up :(

Looks like we will be getting more spam

hmm wierd, try setting your resolvers to external nameservers and see if that fix it?

It must be something I did with DNS, I will dig deeper and post back later once I solve this one ;)
