Listed on the CBL blacklist but there is no SPAM queued in your mail? To get rid learn to set the Exim configuration today. If you find yourself listed on the CBL blacklist (http://www.abuseat.org/) but you have checked your mail queue and there is no SPAM queued, or logged in your mail delivery reports, then most likely you are being blocked due to a rather archaic CBL rule which says: You have been found to be using several different EHLO/HELO names during multiple connections on or about: xxx time/date This means that they have detected when Exim is connecting to external SMTP servers for mail delivery, it's reporting itself in the HELO greeting as a different server each time. To get around this you need to set the Exim configuration so that it uses a single HELO greeting: Login to WHM Go to Service Configuration -> Exim Configuration Manager In the Basic Editor tab scroll down to the 'Domains and IPs' section Turn off: Send mail from account's dedicated IP address Turn on: Reference /etc/mailhelo for outgoing SMTP HELO You now need to edit the /etc/mailhelo file on the server SSH into the server First backup your existing mailhelo file: mv /etc/mailhelo /etc/mailhelobackup touch /etc/mailhelo chown root:mail /etc/mailhelo pico /etc/mailhelo Enter into the mailhelo file: *: hostname where hostname is equal to the hostname of your server that resolves e.g. vps.yourdomain.com Save: CTRL O Quit: CTRL X service exim restart
