Contact Form 7 Not Sending Emails on Wordpress

Posted on 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?

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

I get this error before the queue ends <br> <br>R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp defer (111): Connection refused <br>

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>
