    Hey there! The most likely issue is with the DNS or resolvers on your machine. Can you try running this command from your server? telnet gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com 25
    With the situation you describe, that will likely fail. If so, I'd recommend adjusting the /etc/resolv.conf file on your server to use the Google public resolvers, so the file looks like this, commenting out other lines or making a backup before you make changes: nameserver 8.8.8.8 nameserver 8.8.4.4
    and then running these commands to clear the Exim retry database: /usr/sbin/exim_tidydb -t 1d /var/spool/exim retry > /dev/null /usr/sbin/exim_tidydb -t 1d /var/spool/exim reject > /dev/null /usr/sbin/exim_tidydb -t 1d /var/spool/exim wait-remote_smtp > /dev/null
    After that you can try sending the message again and you can see if you get a different result or if there are still errors.

    Do you have root access to the server this user is hosted on? If so, you would run that from the SSH terminal as the root user. If you don't have full root access, you would need to reach out to your hosting provider for additional information on what could be causing that error, as you'll need root access to check the logs and troubleshoot the issue.

    Some servers don't have that installed by default. The following command will get that taken care of: yum install telnet

    I have a problem that this problem appears when the user tries to reset the password on this site:

    Reverse DNS wouldn't be related to the Gmail error he posted in the text. While it likely does need to get addressed, it doesn't seem to be the root cause for this specific issue.

    The telnet command isn't designed to fix the issue, but that is a tool that will tell us if your server can reach the Gmail network normally. What was the output from that command?

    Thanks for that - that is the root cause of the issue then. Can you try changing the resolver as I outlined in my first post and then see if the telnet commands works after that change?

    I'd say that the resolver is working, gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com resolves to 173.194.79.26 . and that is Google IP. [root@finn2 ~]# telnet 173.194.79.26 25 Trying 173.194.79.26... Connected to 173.194.79.26. Escape character is '^]'. 220 mx.google.com ESMTP p12-20020a170906a00c00b006d05b06be05si158205ejy.979 - gsmtp
    For me it looks like outgoing port 25 is closed. @abasobito are you able to send emails to any address?

    when you go to WHM Home "Email "Email Deliverability are there any errors ?

    yes, there is for DKIM , SPF This system does not control DNS for the "sc207-s11.local.localhost" domain and the system did not find any authoritative nameservers for this domain. You can install the suggested "DKIM" record locally. However, this server is not the authoritative nameserver. If you install this record, this change will not be effective. Contact your domain registrar to verify this domain"s registration.

    or in terminal type: hostname
    sc207-s11.local.localhost - this should not be your hostname. it should be something example: server.yourdomain.com
