SMTP not working

Hi,

Im trying to setup SMTP with my Hesk installation but I keep getting the error:

Code: Select all

"Could not connect to the host "smtp.domain.com":"

Resolving SMTP server domain "smtp.domain.com"...
Connecting to host address "10.0.0.3" port 25...
I can ping smtp.domain.com from the actual webserver so I know it can reach it but for some reason Hesk can't :?

The webserver is internal.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Tom

Is the "smtp.domain.com" correct?
Is the port correct? Blocked by firewall?
Does the SMTP server require SSL or TLS?
Is the username/password correct?
Does your PHP allow connections via fsockopen?

Not sure, how would I check this?

If you add something like this in a PHP file (test.php) and open it in browser, does it throw an error or opens Google (or tries to redirect to a google local domain)?

Code: Select all

<?php
$fp = fsockopen("www.google.com", 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!$fp) {
    echo "$errstr ($errno)<br />\n";
} else {
    $out = "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n";
    $out .= "Host: www.google.com\r\n";
    $out .= "Connection: Close\r\n\r\n";
    fwrite($fp, $out);
    while (!feof($fp)) {
        echo fgets($fp, 128);
    }
    fclose($fp);
}
?>

And is "10.0.0.3" correct IP of your SMTP server?

The test pages give this error:

Seems OK.

I'm afraid I'm out of ideas here. I would triple-check all settings but other than that I don't see a good reason why this wouldn't work on your server.
