Contact Form 7 Not Sending Emails on Wordpress
- Posted March 4, 2014
I just moved to a new droplet and my contact form on wordpress is not sending emails. I configured exim per the support article, set up this spf record (TXT @ v=spf1 ip4:mydomainip -all)
Any thoughts?

You can’t run multiple MTA. You already have something listening on port 25.
Check your firewall settings: <br>sudo iptables -L <br> <br>If you have issues with the configuration try Exim’s configuration tool: <br>sudo dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config
Now I am getting these errors: <br> <br>2014-03-04 17:32:46 socket bind() to port 25 for address 127.0.0.1 failed: Address already in use: waiting 30s before trying again (3 more tries) <br>2014-03-04 17:33:15 socket bind() to port 25 for address 127.0.0.1 failed: Address already in use: waiting 30s before trying again (5 more tries) <br>2014-03-04 17:33:16 socket bind() to port 25 for address 127.0.0.1 failed: Address already in use: waiting 30s before trying again (2 more tries) <br>2014-03-04 17:33:45 socket bind() to port 25 for address 127.0.0.1 failed: Address already in use: waiting 30s before trying again (4 more tries) <br>2014-03-04 17:33:46 socket bind() to port 25 for address 127.0.0.1 failed: Address already in use: waiting 30s before trying again (1 more try) <br>2014-03-04 17:34:15 socket bind() to port 25 for address 127.0.0.1 failed: Address already in use: waiting 30s before trying again (3 more tries) <br>2014-03-04 17:34:16 socket bind() to port 25 for address 127.0.0.1 failed: Address already in use: daemon abandoned <br>2014-03-04 17:34:45 socket bind() to port 25 for address 127.0.0.1 failed: Address already in use: waiting 30s before trying again (2 more tries) <br>2014-03-04 17:35:15 socket bind() to port 25 for address 127.0.0.1 failed: Address already in use: waiting 30s before trying again (1 more try) <br>2014-03-04 17:35:45 socket bind() to port 25 for address 127.0.0.1 failed: Address already in use: daemon abandoned <br>
I also realized that my install of exim gave this error at some point: <br> <br>postmulti: fatal: config variable inet_interfaces: host not found: loopback-only <br> [ OK ] <br>
I get this error before the queue ends <br> <br>R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp defer (111): Connection refused <br>
Check the Exim4 Logs to see what’s the problem, there might be something missing on the Exim4 config: <br>sudo tail /var/log/exim4/mainlog
