Your problem is two fold:
MYSQL connection failed: Lost connection to MySQL server during query
That indicates a MySQL issue, perhaps a user ID / Password issue.
The 2nd is:
2004-07-18 14:33:56 1BmHQ4-00008i-7e <= DaJoob@??? H=(dan4)
[192.168.0.12] P=smtp S=1275 id=000001c46cee$0a248bc0$0c00a8c0@dan4
2004-07-18 14:33:56 1BmHQ4-00008i-7e User 0 set for local_delivery
transport is on the never_users list
that says that DaJoob@??? sent a message that is being delivered
to someone like root. NEVER deliver anything as root or To root! If you
expect to be able to read root mails, set up an alias in your aliases
file (i.e. /etc/aliases) like this:
root: Dan
so that Dan gets all the root mail. By default exim will not do anything
as root. This is a saftey feature that I have come to appreciate.
PS. Fix your MX records please? You should have a DNS in your MX
records, not an IP.
i.e. good:
@ IN MX mail.dajoob.com
mail.dajoob.com. IN A 198.65.22.15
bad:
@ IN MX 198.65.22.15
