  • SMTP server

    From Per Gustav Ousdal@2:203/203 to All on Tuesday, February 14, 2023 20:14:22
    Hi,

    So, I've got the POP server working for local (BBS) email. However, the
    SMTP server is not working. I have not come very far in the debugging
    but telnet from localhost gives:

    Connected to localhost.
    Escape character is '^]'.
    220 phrenetic.no Mystic SMTP Ready

    However, from my client where I intend to run the MUA. I get this:

    Connected to bbs.phrenetic.no.
    Escape character is '^]'.
    Connection closed by foreign host.

    Any ideas?

    Regards,
    pos

    Could this be a firewall issue? The telnet seems to show that it is working.

    If you go into System Configuration > Servers > Logging and set the MIS.LOG to "Max" you should be able to see all communication between the server and client (if you have log caching turned on you may need to shutdown the server afterwards to see it, or turn log caching off in the settings temporarily).

    Having a log of the data exchange may help give us more clues as to what is happening.
