Sending an email from the SWA to a gmail address, or any address actually results in this log:



It appears to be resolving the destination, but keeps timing out....

Any ideas pretty please?

Can you simply ? Do you connnect?

What are the results of

?

Thanks,
Don

Of telnet:

Failed

Of traceroute...




Of special note: ISP blocks port 25. If I send a mail to a different domain server, then I still get the same result. However, I can telnet to the different domain to port 26.

You'll have to use your ISP as a relay then. Edit /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and find

# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DS

Add to DS your ISP's smtp host, e.g.

DSsmtp.isp.net

Then restart sendmail.

Thanks.

But now I get a returned message stating that the SMTP server requires authentication, error 530.

I set the /etc/mail/access file as such:



Messages are being sent from SWA.

Side note: the SAC isn't working after a reboot. The page will come up asking for login name and password, and then will get stuck on "Attempting to login." It won't even tell me if its a bad login name. Perhaps there is a service not started somewhere? It works fine the first time if never a restart......

Hi. Try setting your trusted mechanism to LOGIN or PLAIN or both. For example:




and see if your ISP takes that.

Regarding the SAC, do a ps -aef|grep tomcat and make sure tomcat is running and that only copy is running. If it's not running, there's a script in the admin_resource_kit subdirectory called tomcat. Edit that file and put in your tomcat directory information, then copy that file to /etc/init.d and chmod the file to 755. Now when you reboot, tomcat should auto start.

Thanks.
Still exhibiting the same problem though.
If I send through the webmail, I get a return message stating the same error 530.

If I send through MAPI (Outlook) I get a message stating:


I assume that perhaps are both related? I check the mail log and it still keeps saying that the service is unavailable, and it does say that the smtp server is the one in my config. My receiving mail is fine and is set up on port 587.

In the meantime, I am hoping that my ISP unblocks port 25 for us; I found a hidden form on their site through complaints to their tech support to request to be removed from the port 25 blocking. Crossing my fingers on that one....

Hi. Can you post some of your maillog file so we can see what the error that sendmail is returning? Have you tried connecting and logging on to your provider's SMTP host via telnet? See this link for information on performing an auth logon:

/var/log/mail:



I can easlity telnet into the smtp server on port 25. Sending mail with the smtp server and login info works fine from thunderbird/outlook.

Not really sure how to login to the smtp server though... The AUTH LOGIN appears to do something though....

Im using SBC DSL with the exact same problem. I search on google gave me a link to this mini-howto on Sendmail with SBC DSL that fixed my outbound email on Scalix 10 CE on CentOS4.2.
