Connect failed (Connection refused by mail.mymailserver.com.) openmailer: makeconnection => stat=75, errno=111
can u connect to this server manually on port 25...using telnet try to connect and see if you can excecute any smtp commands. are you sure this server admin has not blocked your site? nowdays many smtp server require authorization before sending mails to
avoid
spams...make sure the policy for above server is not changed. when have u sent last message using this connection...
Yes, I can connect to mailserver manually using SMTP and mail delivers perfectly. Even Pine works without any problem.
I would like to mention one small issue here. [All IP/domain are fake]
my hosts has entry for mymailserver.com 192.168.10.25 This is for internal network.
When I make a dns query mymailserver.com 202.56.230.146
from my internal network I cannot connect to 202.56.230.146. So I get error "connection refused from mymailserver.com
Pine must be using /etc/hosts entry to find internal IP, so it works perfect.
Is there any way so that I can tell sendmail not to make a nslookup for mymailserver.com and refer /etc/hosts. my hosts.conf has order hosts,bind
