sending ghost emails. they go out but never arrive at the destination

hi guys,
so after fighting all night long i have managed to get my server back up and running after a ISP update broke the whole damn thing.

however now i am having an issue where i CAN send... but the email never arrives at its destination. i can receive fine. with ssl even.
i am quite the noob but i can follow guidance like a pro.

i have attached my current mail log and i am the one sending out from [email protected]

i have had this server running for two months without an issue and then i did a ispconfig update yesterday and the whole thing fell apart. it has taken the last 16 hours to get it working again. (i made a few compounding issues but they are gone now.)
i am running a CentOS 6.8 Virtual server.
i have gone through the setup guides and still having the same issue.
i am also posting my active ports

and i now have 188 emails sitting in the queue

 

So the older versions didnt use port 10026?
This may well be the issue.
Unfortunately iv only just now gotten your message. Iv just defaulted the hosting. However this will help in future. No where else has suggested that.
I'm sure the reset was a noob move but I figure i do like to test my boundaries and now I know how to break it...

Thankyou for your help.
If you ever want to provide a catigory for PC support, I'd be happy to contribute and repay the favor.
Because il be back haha

well i will have it back shortly what ever it was so i will confirm.
and just laugh moment in the middle of all this pain... the service provider i use just "reset my hosting back to default"... my IP ends in 89.62 the server they just wiped... is 89.162 someone is going to have a worse day than me.

 

just for the record, how would i go about adding it in that case? is it as simple as just adding it into a line?

 

On my Debian GNU/Linux 9.6 I have:

Code:

$inet_socket_port = [10024,10026];

I don't know about CentOS.

 

is that line located in a file somewhere?
