I just started at my current role and I'm the only IT guy...
I have a server that is used to send emails to a local smarthost but they just switched to using Office 365 and it "never worked" since then...
I googled it but I cannot really "tell" what I'm doing wrong (I've never used Exim4 before now...)
When P look at the maillog I see a bunch of things like this and its not sending...
it_alert@email.com <root@server> R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp defer (-53): retry time not reached for any host for 'email.com'
I've edited the /etc/exim4/passwd.client file to have the correct email and password and I have edited the dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config to have the smtp server as smtp.office365.com:587
Any ideas?
EDIT
so after changing some things in the config this is what it shows when i do a mail root
Admin@server:~$ sudo tail /var/log/exim4/mainlog
