    I tried this method and still got the error

    If using cPanel with CentOS, as root user run the following:

    cd /var/spool/exim/db
    rm -f retry retry.lockfile
    rm -f wait-remote_smtp wait-remote_smtp.lockfile
    service exim restart

     

    Or, use the following commands:

     

    /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
    /scripts/courierup -- force
    /scripts/eximup --force

    Hey there!  It's possible your host doesn't allow email to be sent.  Are you able to successfully run this test and connect to the remote mailserver?

    yum install telnet
    telnet gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com 25

    If that second command doesn't let you connect, that is a sign your server can't send outbound messages.  More details on that can be found here: https://support.cpanel.net/hc/en-us/articles/360052412573-How-to-configure-a-third-party-smarthost-for-your-cPanel-server

    i try your code and got this

    " root@server:~# telnet gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com 25
    Trying 64.233.184.27...
    Trying 2a00:1450:400c:c0b::1b...
    telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Cannot assign requested address "

    So there you go - that confirms you will not be able to send email from your server without the additional configuration I mentioned above.

    why i need configure a third-party smarthost for your cPanel server if I want to host the email in my server not on third-party

    The issue is that your hosting provider is blocking the specific network connection that allows email to work, so you won't be able to send email from your cPanel server.

    if I have full access to the VPS what can I do to fix this can I change the port or re-config

    all my clients can not send e-mails

    There is nothing you can do to fix this on the server except setup a smarthost.  You may be able to speak with the hosting provider to see if they can open the port for you, but that is unlikely to happen.

    Yes, I would expect that to fail since you can't send email.
