Could be a firewall issue, what ports are open on your machine. -If using windows try "netstat -an" when your machine is attempting to connect.
If using Outlook etc, could be the pop before SMTP issue... -see http://www.cobaltfaqs.com/index.php?title=Setting_up_DNSBL_for_spam_blocking #Fix_POP_Before_SMTP Finally check your pop retrieval settings...is it timing out during busy parts of the day? Cheers, C -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Thom LaCosta Sent: 11 September 2006 10:47 To: [email protected] Subject: [cobaltfacts] Connection Refused It seems that every day I experience a "connection refused" with an error number of 10061 when I attempt to send mail to my server. I am logging in via POP, the ip address I am using is NOT listed in hosts.deny, IS listed in hosts.allow and is also in the email GUI as one of the addresses that is allowed to relay mail. I tried stopping and restarting sendmail....no luck....BUT, if I reboot the server, I can send mail. What might be the cause and where should I start looking? thanks Thom _______________________________________________ Cobaltfacts site list [email protected] http://list.cobaltfacts.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/cobaltfacts _______________________________________________ Cobaltfacts site list [email protected] http://list.cobaltfacts.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/cobaltfacts
