Hey there! I'm sorry to hear about the issues with the reverse DNS configuration. The reverse DNS should point to the hostname of the server. However, there isn't a way to fix it on the server itself - you *have* to contact your hosting provider or datacenter to have them set that up. Once they do that, it should start working immediately for you.

I can receive Emails. I can't send emails. and after I tried all the methods here I got only this " Reverse DNS does not match SMTP Banner "
you know I rebuilt the VPS. the problem still exists. I contacted the DC provider he said contact cpanel admin.

@oomaro - you would first want to confirm the reverse DNS is in place. You can do that with the "dig -x" command, or with an online tool like Reverse IP Lookup - MxToolbox. If that works properly, can you check and see if there are any customizations to the /etc/mailhelo file on the system? By default, this file should contain one line, that looks similar to the following:

*: host.domain.com

yes for /etc/mailhelo only the reverse static IP. only one line and it is the same DNS reverse that is in the VPS Ip static.

You can do:
exigrep "Message ID" /var/log/exim_mainlog

Message ID
you can see in Mail Queue Manager.

I removed that last post because it was just too much information. We just need to see one specific failed email transaction in the log showing what is currently happening on the system.

how can I attach it here text not allowed

I also open ticket with cPanel. they said open port 25 does not open I don't have external firewall.
cPanel said check with you DC VPS provider.
DC VPS admin said Problem with cPanel and EXIM. specially happened. If I have domains. but if I have only one domain it will work fine.
I hate to be like a Pingping ball.

Usually telnet is not installed by default, in that case you can install it:
yum -y install telnet
