Hi Stewart, > This week I installed nmh 1.7.1.
Do you know what version you were on before? Was it a 1.6? > Trying to connect to "localhost" ... > Connecting to ::1:2525... > Connection failed: Connection refused > Connecting to 127.0.0.1:2525... > Connection failed: Connection refused That means there is no program listening on port 2525 to accept the mail from nmh to start its journey. Do you have a local mail server, like Sendmail, Postfix, Qmail, or Exim, that you expect to be used? 2525 is an odd port; it's normally 25 or 587. 2525 suggests you're trying to work around some network-traffic filtering of port 25, or your server doesn't have the privilege to listen on port 25. See if you've any parameters being given to send(1) by your ~/.mh_profile with `mhparam send'. And examine your system's /etc/nmh/mts.conf; that's the default mts.conf file unless you override it with send's -mts option. > but suggested for anything else I go to nmh-workers. Yes, good idea. Keep replying to the list, and we'll keep CCing you in our replies. -- Cheers, Ralph. Ralph, The previous nmh was 1.4 I changed the port to 25 from 2525, but the connection there was also refused. I left it at 25. mhparam now shows: -port 25 -alias /home/wilson/.mh_aliases Sendmail is installed, but according to ps it is not running. Postfix, Qmail, and Exim are not installed. I'm attaching mts.conf. Also .mh_profile Thank you again for your help! Stewart P.S. Sorry if I am not responding correctly. You said reply to the list and I think I'm doing that. :) Sending is complicated since send doesn't work and this is from Eskimo.
