Mail delivery troubles
Since a couple of days my clients are reporting mail troubles. Mails are bouncing or aren't sending.
Messages are:
* Retry time not reached
* Retry time not reached for any host
* Host lookup did not complete
* DANE error: tlsa lookup defer
The problems are random so I can't find a line in the troubles ... I didn't change anything to te configuration.
Can someone give me please a hand to find the problem ?

Hi,
I'm having the exact same problem.
Any help, our customers are desperate
Thanks0 -
Hey there! You'll need to focus on one email issue at a time and track down the problem. I would recommend sending an email on the server while watching the mail logs in real-time with this command:
tail -f /var/log/exim_mainlog
That will show you what the mail server is doing as you send the message. The "retry time" and "host" errors you mention sound like a DNS issue of some sort, so sending that message again will likely have the same problem if it is indeed a DNS issue.

Thanks for the information, but I will detail the following:
Nothing has been touched in the configuration, so this matter does not make sense.
It does not always do this either, so getting the information is not always possible, because there are times when everything works ok.
And third, if there are more users with the same problem from the same day, this problem is NOT normal because several users coincide on the same day with the same problems.
What can we do, thank you.

I completely agree, but you'll still need to do some troubleshooting to find out the root cause of the issue. Without checking the Exim log, there is no way to know what the issue may be, so that log has to be examined in order to fix the issue.

I attach two traces of emails with their errors:

Thanks for the additional details. These look like normal log entries due to the cPanel Greylisting system:
https://docs.cpanel.net/whm/email/greylisting/
This helps prevent spam and automated emails by ensuring the sending mailserver tries to send the message again, which is something that will not happen from automated spam bots. This log doesn't indicate a problem with the mailserver or a failed delivery.

Kennybe - this is an outbound message, so it seems like your mails are being limited by the host as outlined here:
If that's the case, there likely isn't anything you can do except wait, as the error isn't on the cPanel side of things.

Moved the account to another server ... problem solved...
