    Hello,

    I try to setup an email server just to send system notification to the admin but I an getting the following error.

    Oct 15 11:34:00 www sendmail[25217]: o9FG4Lts024716: to=<[email protected]>, ctladdr=<[email protected]> (0/0), delay=00:29:38, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, pri=398536, relay=mail.xxxxxxxxxx.net., dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by mail.xxxxxxxxxx.net.

    Somethisng that I notice is that the relay server is the same as the reciving email server. There is not log on the receving server at all. I am using SENDMAIL cuz there is aa aplicatoin that is not compatible with postfix.

    Best reagrds,

    Is mail.xxxxxxxxxx.net a remote server? If so, please check if your server is blacklisted: http://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx

    Postfix is compatible with Sendmail - it even comes with a program called sendmail so that applications that require the sendmail program do still work.

    Hello,

    Yes, mail.xxxxxxxxxx.net a my remote server and is operational also, is not blacklisted.

    SENDMAIL worked before with out a problem. I just updated from openSUSE 11 to 11.3.

    Connection refused by mail.xxxxxxxxxx.net. based on this error I did not found any log on the mail.xxxxxxxxxx.net server.

    I ask the developer is the libraries where compatible with postfix and the answer was negative.

    Any other suggestion?


    Best regards,

    Al
