 |
|
Hello.
I've set up my ssmtp.conf (and i'm almost sure it's configured correctly), but when i'm trying to send an email from my box (in Pine) i always get this message:
| Code: | | [Error sending: SMTP greeting failure: 421 SMTP connection went away!] |
What that does mean? If i try manualy connect to my ISP's mail server on port 25 it works fine.
ANd here is my ssmtp.conf:
| Code: | # ssmtp.conf: Config file for Cygwin's sstmp sendmail
#
# The person who gets all mail for userids < 10
root=postmaster
# The place where the mail goes. The actual machine name is required
# no MX records are consulted. Commonly mailhosts are named mail.domain.com
# The example will fit if you are in domain.com and you mailhub is so named.
mailhub=mail.myisp.net
# Where will the mail seem to come from?
rewriteDomain=
# The full hostname
hostname=mybox.dyndns.org
# Set this to never rewrite the "From:" line (unless not given) and to
# use that address in the "from line" of the envelope.
#FromLineOverride=YES
EOF

Any ideas? Don't know what to try next?

try at the commandline
| Code: |
sendmail you@mail.com < /tmp/somefile.txt

Maybe your isp has got some smtp greylist stuff working, that drops your smtp connections. If you tried posting from pine ONCE and then telneted onto smtp ONCE then the greylist started to accept connections from your box. Try sending the mail through pine again.
