can't send via php - unroutable address

[AxlF]

Hello,

i tried to send a newsletter from my DA server via php. But most of the emails bounced:

email@email.com
Unrouteable address

even with recipiens from large companies like gmx or gmail...

It could be a problem with my DNS, but i can resolve all these domains...

dig gmx.net

; <<>> DiG 9.3.4 <<>> gmx.net
;; global options: printcmd

I did not know exim enough to get it solved by my own ( all time postfix user ;) )...
I used the standard exim.conf (with spamblocker 2.1.1.) and some rbl's enabled...
Anybody got a hint for me?

seems like resolver not configured properly.


cat /etc/resolv.conf

hm.. i think it's okay...

in /etc/resolv.conf
are the nameservers from my server provider...

the hostname and reverse dns entry is set correct, too...

[AxlF]

is it possible that these errors are from the limit set in the exim configuration ?

I recognized the /etc/virtual/limit value (500)... I set it to 0 now.

What happens if the user reaches this limit? "Unroutable Addresses" ??

Yes, if you reach the limit the emails are returned with unrouteable address.

i just hit this same exact problem with one of my authenticated users and setting the limit to 0 fixed it but can some one please explain to me what restrictions does "limit" impose in an exim config?
