    Is this related to the firewall that centminmod uses? because im using mandrill via smtp.
    Thank you.

    yup CSF Firewall needs tuning see CSF Firewall - Centmin Mod - Menu based Nginx installer for CentOS servers

    most common is TCP_OUT port 587 needs adding or whatever you using to connect to Mandrill

    When i added post 587 and saved then csf -r i got this error
    Code:
    Error: The VPS iptables rule limit (numiptent) is too low to add 6568 rules (99/1000) - *IPs not added*, at line 3844

    you using OpenVZ VPS, it has limits on processes like numiptent :(

    You probably want to use XEN or KVM based VPSes
