Ubuntu :: Mail Setup - SMTP Keep Getting Connection Refused
Jun 2, 2010
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'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.

I have sendmail running (quite well) on my ubuntu box. It worksfine with Thunderbird locally. It runs fine with a few other MUAson (allowed) remote machines. It has one small problem I have notbeen able to clear up: it will not send mail that is initiated bythe 'mail' program locally. It gives me a "[127.0.0.1 connectionrefused] error in the logs. The /etc/hosts file is fine (as faras I know). The sendmail.cf file has been rebuilt from sendmeil.mc.'hostname' and 'dnsdomainname' return proper values. Okay, I'mstumped and looking for another set of eyes on the problem.
I have the 11.4 Gnome Distribution.everything is setup except my email sending.I have never been able to setup evolution correctly with gmail.I have followed the gmail settings of setting the smtp server to be smtp. gmail. com:465 and folowed the instructions here Evolution/FAQ - GNOME Live!to setup smtp.gmail.com with no port change.if there is no port specified the sending message window doesn't report an error it just hangs.
This is the current setup that we have: We have approx 20 clients who pay us to send out a type of e-mail called an E-Blast to their customers. We currently are using 5 Microsoft Windows Virtual Servers to do this. The problem is that those machines are starting to break down. There are times that it will take Microsoft Windows approx 9-10 hours to complete 1 job. This is way too long. We want to move away from Microsoft Windows for this particular type of job as it seems there are more customers who are wanting to use this type of advertising.
It seems that using a Linux Server "Command Line or Shell" environment would be the best way to go as there is no GUI like Windows. Since there is just text...that is something that would/should process very, very quickly.
I am in the process of setting up a new SMTP outbound mail server. This is the current software & configuration (what is installed on this new machine):
All of the customer data (Names, E-Mail Addresses, etc that these e-mails are going to) are currently loaded in a Microsoft SQL Database.
My machine that I am using is plugged into the DMZ. I have 1 ip address for the 1 network card. I have also added/bound 4 more ip addresses to that network card.
I have configured Postfix for Multiple IP Addresses.
I can, from the command line, send successful test e-mails and receive them in my personal account.
As far as I know everything is setup correctly. I can and will post requested information so that it can be verified that everything is setup correctly.
Here are a couple of my questions:
Ensure that I have my Network / Interfaces file and my Postfix's Master.cf/Main.cf files setup correctly?
How can I setup this server to be an Outbound SMTP server and get it to use all 5 of the IP Addresses to send these e-mails quickly?
What can I use to check and ensure that this server is in fact sending out emails on all 5 IP
Addresses (I heard that there is a program named "Postal" that may help in determing this).
I am setting up a CentOS box as a NAT firewall that needs to also send mail. It needs to send this mail using an outside provider's SMTP. The provider requires SMTP over SSL. None of the machines inside the NAT will ever send mail except via the provider's SMTP nor will they ever receive mail except to local clients via the provider's IMAP servers.
So for the example the machine is TESTMACHINE. There is one internet facing ethernet port connected to a DSL modem via pppoe.
The SMTP it needs to send mail via is mail.host.net which requires SMTP over SSL (port 465) and username/password authentication.
The sendmail documentation is quite confusing on how to get this simple setup operating, so an example showing the appropriate changes to sendmail.mc and other require config files.
I am new to ubuntu and I'm trying to set up an vps, but I cant manage to get past the first screen where I have to fill ip and port 22. When I click open, it says connection refused.
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?
i administer an isp mail server on centOS my client has a mail server on redhat, the client can send mail successfully but if i try to send mail from outside i get "connection refused error" from my /var/log/maillog can anyone help this has been pending for long and im under fire!!
I am running CentOS 5.5 and am trying to get Nagios to send out Emails.
After a bit of reading I have the following in my /etc/mail.rc file:
Code: [root@linux ~]# cat /etc/mail.rc set ask askcc append dot save crt ignore Received Message-Id Resent-Message-Id Status Mail-From Return-Path Via set smtp=172.29.1.76 You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root [root@linux ~]#
I have Nagios setup correctly and introduced an error to generate an Email but nothing has come through.I suppose I have two questions:
1. Is mail.rc setup correctly? 2. Can I test to see if mail.rc is working correctly?
I tried to finally set-up surround sound on my Ubuntu 10.04 machine and i was successful in doing so after a while of changing settings and tinkering. After doing so though, i was later in the day not able to get into the Pulseaudio Volume Control, therefore, everything is stuck where it is and i can't change anything. When i try to open Pulseaudio Volume Control i get the error message, Connection failed, Connection refused. My programs still play sound and i can control the sound of the programs through the programs, but i cant control the sound of the sorround sound now and my main sound bar only affects my stereo speakers, not the surround ones.
I believe this may have happened after the random disk check on restart, but i can't 100% confirm that and i'm not even sure if they are related. I still have sound, but i have no way to control the volume of my entire system at once. I did some looking around online and saw that others are having or had the same issue, and it was through different versions of Linux also. somehow reset everything so i can access PAVC and start over . I also tried steps listed in another thread here on the same topic, but they weren't working and it also seemed to be for older Ubuntu versions.
I'm trying to create a PAN (Personal Area Network) using a laptop (Siragon ML-1040) and my desktop computer, but I get the Connection Refused (111) error.
Blueman doesn't detect any network service between the two computers unless I start PAND on one of them and then it detects the NAP service. That, only after I enable the NAP/Workgroup services on the Services submenu in Blueman. However, it doesn't work neither with the NM plugins or without them (dhclient and that other one I can't remember the name of).
Any clues over here? I'm using pand 4.91 and blueman.
vsftpd not working on my CentOS system. I tried logging in using FileZilla but the error message was: Connection attempt failed with "ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server".
The php mail form is designed using post function,normally the mails are not getting delivered without smtp authentication.So can someone say me on adding smtp authentication to php email form.
I want to send mails via gmail with php. I need to know how to configure main.cf, php.ini, postfix,smtp... and all what is necessary. I tried a lot but no results.
I have specified a particular IP in the php.ini configuration file to be used by the mail() function. However, there are exceptions when I want to use a different SMTP Server's IP to relay delivery of emails to External Domains. So, how to use SMTP Value in the mail() function. I think it has to be done in the Header Section of it...?
Trying to transfer to claws mail from kmail, I have problem in sending emails: It doesn't send email through one of my accounts (a university account) and says: An "error happened during SMTP session". My other university account works!
I tried setting up evolution mail incoming worked fine outgoing Big No, so I install Thunderbird and it worked like a charm. Then I decided I liked Evolution a little more and wanted to see if I could get it working and came across this. Firstly I entered all my details correctly double and triple checked. Look at my user name now when i try sending an email I get this? Why has my email changed?
I'd like to use the mail command to send e-mails with some log files. Is there a way to configure the SMTP server from cli or to write the IP address into a file?
We have one major problem in our dedicated online mail server. In this mail server both sendmail and qmail running for send and receive mails. In this server I can able to send mail to other domain like Gmail and yahoo its works fine. But I am not receiving any mails from other domains. And automatically I got telnet localhost 25 connections refused error. When I send mail from my webmail I got like this error Connection refused Server replied: 111 can't open SMTP stream. This is I got when I send mail from webmail. I am using centos 5.2 version.
Installing PHPMailer v.5 (server running php5) with SMTP function. I have installed the main files in mail directory such as: # class.phpmailer.php: This is the main class file which contains the various email functions.# class.smtp.php: This additional class allows SMTP authentication.I don't think I need class.pop3.php as I'm sending mails server side (smtp)and should be accepted by most IP's pop3 servers.
All my mail functions work great with SMTP and I can send and receive. My problem is that my recipients only receive mail from admin@domain instead of "My Website Name" Sounds simple enough, I know and I have made adjustments to class.phpmailer.php and have inserted my specific mail attributes for my site such as mail address, mail from, smtp server, user/pass for smtp,etc.PHP Mailer v5.0 class.phpmailer.php is a very long script and I only found a couple of places to put the FROM address as follows:
I am trying to configure sendmail to use GMail to send emails. I followed the instructions at[URL]lay-howto.html but it failed.After I was done with these instructions, I think I "cooked" sendmail... Can no longer configure it and it seems that I will have to start from scratch again...How to get sendmail to send emails using Gmail's SMTP server?
I'd like to have anything that tries to send mail locally on my machine (including crontab reports for instance) to be handled by my ISP's smtp server instead of my machine acting like it's own SMTP server. I've spent around 15 hours trying to figure out how to do this and I keep either getting into things that I don't understand, or hitting brick walls (for instance, I found nullmailer, but after installing it, it seemed like it would only work on Unix) Is there an application like nullmailer which I can use as my MTA to forward all internal mail to a different SMTP?
In trying to set up SMTP for Thunderbird, I made a mistake in the password, typed the wrong one in, and hit the checkbox to have Lucid remember it. Now it will report a password failure BUT won't allow putting a different password in.
Does anybody know if that password storage is managed by Lucid's keyring system, or Thunderbird's? In either case, where is that bad password located so I can clear it out?
I have a Fedora 10 machine that I want to setup to send email. However I don't want it to be a full blown SMTP setup.What I am looking to achieve is when something sends email from the local machine (e.g. from cron) to an address I want it to use an MTA on the local machine which will then connect to, and authenticate with, my e-mail providers SMTP server this will then take care of actually sending the e-mail.I don't want, or need, to setup a full blown SMTP service (i.e. only the local machine should be able to use it) so sendmail seems a bit over the top for my needs. Nor do I want to mess about with MX records (am I right in thinking this will mean I have to manage all mail for my domain?).
On my opensuse 11.4 box (although I assume the version is irrelevant), I'm trying to figure out how to do something with the mail command. We have multiple smtp relay servers and sometimes I have to test to verify that mail is bouncing off of them successfully. On my laptop, in my main.cf file for postfix, I've got the relay server listed. But to test multiple servers, I have to change the main.cf, restart postfix, send message, and then repeat for each test.
I'm trying to figure out a way to specify the smtp relay on the command line. I've been playing with the -S option which is supposed to allow variables and one of the variables in the man page is 'smtp'. I've tried several different syntaxes but nothing seems to work.
The closest I've come is: mail -S smtp 10.1.0.63 -s "test" user@email.com < main.cf
That syntax doesn't give me an error but it still routes the message off the smtp server listed in main.cf which is not 10.1.0.63.
