General :: Fetchmail - Connection Refused (SMTP Transaction Error)
May 21, 2010
I've used fetchmail for quite a while now and never had a problem, until (without having changed anything) today it suddenly quit working, giving me the error message:
fetchmail: connection to localhost:smtp [127.0.0.1/25] failed: Connection refused.
fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost failed
fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from stefan%mydomain.com@mail.mydomain.com and delivering to SMTP host localhost
fetchmail: Query status=10 (SMTP)
I googled the error message, but didn't find anything that look promising. I use ubuntu 10.4.
Linux newbe, trying to setup mail. Imap no problem, SMTP keep getting connection refused. Credentials and login info to smtp server same as working on windows machine...
I now have a .tar.gz that has been created during my script, and finnaly i need to upload it via ftp to my computer, but i am unable to because i keep getting the "Connection refused" error, despite the fact that all the syntax appears to be right. in a bout of frustration, i have deleted the code and now no longer have what i had written.. so could someone please let me know the syntax to upload a file to a server? I am aware that other threads have been started about this issue but I am trying to ftp from an iPhone to a computer...
I am trying to backup a client called greetings.com, but when I do an amcheck on the server, I get: WARNING: greetings.com: selfcheck request failed: Connection refused
I was trying to update my Fedora 15 amd64 when a Error Notification popped up saying "An unspecified TRANSACTION ERROR has occured". More details: "could not add package update for fedora-release-rawhide-15-3(noarch)updates: fedora-release-rawhide-15-3.noarch".
I installed fedora 12 today...installation went fine. Tried to run the software update ( which includes 415 fixes) and got the following
Transaction error:- an unspecified transaction error has occurred. More information is available in the following report.
More details show:- could not add package update for abrt-plugin-runpp-1.0.4-1fc12(i686)updates:abrt-plugin-runapp-1.0.4-1.fc12.i686
I have unchecked the box in the update list to be installed, but the software update insists that this update is needed. I cannot progress any further than this error message..
I've just completed a fresh install of Ubuntu Server (x64) on a HP Proliant N36L. During the installation I selected to install LAMP, SAMBA and SSH. To continue the installation of software on the server I wanted to connect remotely from windows PC on the same LAN. I am using PuTTY but when I try to connect I get "Error:Connection Refused". I have trawled the forums regarding the setup of putty and openssh and everything appears to be correctly configured.I have checked that the services are running on the server and that the IP address for the server is correct.The guides I have read online suggest that ssh should be correctly configured as part of the install, so why can I not connect from the same LAN?Is the firewall enabled by default during install?
I need to browse the net more securely and bypass throttling by an infrastructure-dictator by creating a SSH Tunnel directly to my internet service provider and use it as proxy.
I tried both a dynamic and local tunnel, was a able to connect to the server and log-in just fine, but when I tried to surf I get a 'Connection refused' error.
Here's what I tried:
Code: ssh -D 8022 user@tunnel.host -N ssh -L 8022:tunnel.host:8080 user@tunnel.host -N (not at the same time of course)
Then I set 127.0.0.1:8022 as proxy in browser settings. As long as the tunnel is open the browser displays a blank page with no error when I try to open a remote web page, while the terminal gives me a 'Connection refused' error.
I'm using OpenSSH_4.7p1 Debian-8ubuntu1.2, OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007 on Xubuntu Hardy.
In case anybody is wondering this is perfectly legitimate. The tunnel.host I connect to is a server set-up by my ISP specifically for this purpose.
Either of the examples above should work as others who have the same ISP reported that it works. Therefore, I suspect this is an issue with my own security settings which are slightly on the paranoid side but I can't figure out what. Stopping ufw and explicitly opening port 8022 didn't help.
I am getting tcp client connection refused error, when trying to establish tcp client connection from redhat linux to solaris unix. Connect system call is giving connection refused error
Since last Friday I get the following error when trying to upgrade packages with yum: [URL]: [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (111, 'Connection refused')> Trying other mirror." The content of dag.repo:
I am facing connection refused error 111 in TCP client server program, in android native code which in C , but if code is in JAVA it works fine, but i want to continue in C only, in manifest file i have given permission and ip, port is correct .What am doing wrong?? or is their any network setting?? am using UBUNTU 10.04and If both client server Linux pc it works fine. only if android emulator becomes client then am getting connection refused
I have configured a Nagios server which is working well with all king of clients. But when I added a new windows machine to monitor, it gives a error message "connection refused". I have set everything as prior machines.
Now, I just wanted to know the process by which we can check if server is able to communicate with the client's NSclient daemon. In Linux, we simply issue "./check_nrpe -H hostname" and if ok, it gives the NRPE version which indicates the status ok.
I'm try to setup a database server using mysql, the server starts fine, and I can access it using the built in mysql client via console (adding databases and tables works fine), but the problem is... I always get a connection refused error whenever I access the database outside the built in mysql client (example, if I write a code that connects to mysql). So, I tried execute an nmap command and the only ports open are these ports:
[Code]....
there's no 3306 for mysql... I'm thinking that the firewall is just blocking the port that mysql is using, but my question is, how could the built in client connect to the server if there's no open port for mysql server? Don't clients usually access a servers through ports?
Please help me figure out what's wrong. Other nagios check for the same host is working except for this one.In <hostname>.cfg of nagios server, I need to add this to check for a specific pattern in the host's log:Quote:
define service{ use production-logs host_name hostname
I have FileZilla installed on this machine, and OpenSSH (with an open port 22) on another machine on my home network. When I try and connect, I get: Quote: Status:Connecting to 192.168.2.3... Response:fzSftp started Command: open "alphatwo@192.168.2.3" 22 Error:Connection refused Error:Could not connect to server
Which has left me puzzled as I have an open port. Does the username have to be defined somewhere? E.g. the machine acting as my SFTP server can be logged on to locally as alphatwo so that's what I logged in as (with the correct password). Is this correct? If so, does anyone have any ideas as to how I might rectify it? I want SFTP set up so I can copy PHP files from my laptop to /var/www/html/ on another PC (across the home network).
My problem is that the Mailserver in OpenSuse 11.1 (postfix, amavisd, spamassassin, clamAV en Razor) can not recieve e-mails, outgoing is ok. The problem started when I added 2 new users to de LDAP-server connected to Postfix.Some users can login, but most of them are getting the error: cant connect POP3 connection refused port 995.
I got connecting to our NAS over NFS working perfectly. Direct NAS Reading & Writing - How? But on Saturday I found out it had stopped working. For no apparent reason, not straight after an update either I don't think. When I manually try to mount --verbose:
mount 192.168.100.14:/IHL /mnt/IHL --verbose mount: no type was given - I'll assume nfs because of the colon mount.nfs: timeout set for Tue Jul 6 14:48:32 2010 mount.nfs: text-based options: 'addr=192.168.100.14' mount.nfs: Unable to connect to 192.168.100.14:111, errno 111 (Connection refused) mount.nfs: mount to NFS server '192.168.100.14:/IHL' failed: System Error: Connection refused
Corresponding fstab line that used to work just fine. 192.168.100.14:/IHL /mnt/IHL nfs auto 0 0 For now, I can drop back to Samba but this is a PITA as I can't open OpenOffice documents and write to them directly on the NAS. The fact smb://192.168.100.14/IHL works proves networking wise we're cool too. There is no firewall between this PC and the NAS, the NAS is instructed to allow my PC's LAN IP full access. OpenSuse's software firewall has been told to allow NFS Client too. Why would this setup break out of nowhere? How can I debug this best? I see nothing relevant in /var/log/messages How can I get it to work again? A hopeful reboot didn't do its usual wonders...
I'm trying to connect with my server via telnet, but when i sent the command (telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Port) doesn't works and shows then follow error: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused, It happens with any port. Is strange but my telnet services works (telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx), In addition, i tried with firewall enabled and disabled and the problem still happens. My centOS run on virtualbox.
Does this mean that all of my network interfaces are listening as opposed to just one specific network interface? Would 0.0.0.0 include 127.0.0.1?
Also, this computer(A) is on a LAN at my house. It has two network interfaces(eth0 & eth1), both on different subnets. I can connect from another computer(B) on my LAN to this one on one interface(eth0) via SSH just fine. The other interface(eth1) on this computer is hooked up to it's own gateway to the internet using DSL. I'm using this interface(eth1) for running bind.
Anyhow, here's my issue. When using a computer(C), which is a hosted VM , from outside my LAN, to connect to computer(A) via SSH, I get connection refused. So I checked my hosts.deny & hosts.allow files, both empty. I run nmap from computer C and SSH comes up as closed. So I'm thinking it's a firewall issue.
Here's what my iptables -L looks like:
Code:
I've been meaning to learn more about iptables, but which chain is for which network interface? I have also tried running nmap from computer(C) to test bind out on tcp 53 that comes up closed. I run udp 53 and that comes up as closed but then again udp is funny because it's stateless. If I run netcat on udp port 53 from computer C I get a blank line as if it's still running. However, I get that for all other ports anyways so that's of no use.
Unless my AT&T DSL is blocking those ports. But if that were the case would the error 'Connection refused' come up when I try to connect via SSH?
I wanted to download a public repository, from sourceforge.net.I have tried using socat and configure my proxy but with no success, I have given the detailed specification for configuration of the ssh below,
host cfdem user git hostname cfdem.sourceforge.net
Is the following sendmail scenario possible? If yes, what modification(s) should be made, in order to work?
system1 with host1 - where the sendmail is executed system2 with host2 - where the destination email address is stored
When trying to sendmail from host1 to an email address stored on host2. but with the format username@host1, the sendmail service returns Connection refused by host1.
I have CENTOS 5.4 Installed in one machine and i used Real IP provided by our ISP.My requirements for Mailserver are:
Dovecot Postfix
everythings done but when i tried to telnet my External IP it giving me an error of telnet connection refused but i can able to ssh to my external IP and also i disabled the firewall but still no luck.
I work with RHEL, and have instaled DHCP server on it. Sometimes it is happen this bad behaviour:
May 19 10:52:34 alpha dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:1f:3c:91:9b:ba (LENOVO-C3236B87) via 10.192.31.0 May 19 10:52:35 alpha dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 10.192.31.230 to 00:1f:3c:91:9b:ba (LENOVO-C3236B87) via 10.192.31.0
I reinstalled unbuntu server recently and i am trying to get it to only allow one computer to accsess it. So after doing this etc/ssh/ sudo nano sshd_config I uncomment #ListenAddress 0.0.0.0 Ok so i am trying to accsess my server from a windows machine so i tpyed ipconfig /all to find my ip I found the IPV4 address and i put that address like so ListenAddress 192.168.1.22 But when i try and connect it says connection refused.
Ok, a bit of a backround. I am a recent Ubuntu user and made the switch to Fedora being utilized as a server. I am trying to move to a new MUD(text based D&D type game) codebaseI have gotten my code compiled and executed the startup script. The process shows in the ps ux list. As the game it set up it uses port 7500. As the script running I get a "Connection Refused" error when trying to telnet to port 7500. Upon using nmap, I show only my SSH port open (the only daemon I have installed currently) yet no port 7500 open.
I believe this to be an issue somewhere in Fedora as I've had no issue on Ubuntu with past MUD codebases.I have disabled the firewall within Fedora and still no luck. Please bare with me as I'm new to fedora's intricacies.Short Story for those that hate reading long winded posts: A port that should be open by acript known to work on other distro's doesn't seem to open the called port using Fedora
