help please....
Hi Eduard,
the 'SMTP connect to localhost failed' indicates that you are connecting
to your mail provider correctly as you can see that you are already
reading message one of four. But as the message is about to be passed to
your local mail transfer agent (MTA), you see that there is no
connection possible. That means that a) you don't have one installed, or
b) it is not configured correctly. Try
telnet localhost 25
For my configuration I get a response
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 cvpoly2 MasqMail 0.2.20 ESMTP
From the above error message, you should not get a connection at all.
Then you can do 'man sendmail', to see which, if any MTA you have
installed. If there is none, you can choose one of (amongst others)
exim4, sendmail, postfix, masqmail...
I personally have come to like postfix and masqmail recently.
Good luck,
Andreas
