Email problem

I am running RHEL 4 on a cPanel server, with Exim as the MTA. I am having a problem with missing emails. Here is the code from the exim_mainlog of one of the missing emails:

You might have to put it in www.pastebin.com to see it clearly. Does anyone have any idea of why I'm not getting emails like this?

I have no experience with Exim or RHEL, but I'm guessing this line is the culprit...

Code:

2006-03-09 13:28:36 1FHPrg-0005IS-3C => /dev/null (tbryson@velocenet.com) <tbryson@velocenet.com> R=central_filter T=**bypassed**

Do you know what "central_filter" is?

central_filter refers to the email filters you've set up in cPanel - stored in /etc/vfilters/<domain>. Looks like you've got a filter set up to drop certain emails.
