I am creating my mail server and It's Continue to send/receive mails at local server through Exim, but still unable to send/receive mails from another server and show error
LOG: MAIN
<= root@ U=root P=local S=345
[root@localhost ~]# delivering 1QnnHq-0001hB-K2
T: remote_smtp for username@domainame.com
LOG: retry_defer MAIN
== username@domainname.com R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp defer (-53): retry time not reached for any host
That error doesn't show exactly what happened before which has deferred the message. Try running exigrep against your log files and look for the message ID (1QnnHq-0001hB-K2). That should produce some more output showing what originally went wrong.
exigrep, my mistake. Run it as something like exigrep 1QnnHq-0001hB-K2 /var/log/exim/mainlog, replacing the last parameter with where your exim log goes. You may need to use one of the archived logs if mainlog doesn't cover the period the message originally failed to deliver.

Have you verified that the server has a functioning DNS configuration?
Frozen means that it can't go outside. Most likely I think your exim conf is set to local. Run dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config and select Internet website or with smarthost.
