The /etc/hosts not world readable problem is mentioned in
.

That and

may have been helpful. You mentioned searching the FAQ. Can you help
us by suggesting what changes we could make to have made it more
likely that you would find this information.

The firewall was fine...  the problem was that, for some reason, the hosts
file did not have world read privileges!

Thanks for the assistance - your question led me to further telnet localhost
25 testing.  I'd done it as root and it worked... I hadn't tried it as a
non-root user (brain failure at midnight last night).

Did you check your firewall settings, to make sure that connections 
to port 25 on the localhost IP address would be accepted?

[Mailman-Users] Low level smtp error: (111, 'Connection refused') errors

[Will Nordmeyer]

Hi,

 

I've searched the FAQ, and followed the steps in 3.14, but cannot resolve
this error.

 

Mar 27 03:35:58 2007 (20228) Low level smtp error: (111, 'Connection
refused'), msgid: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 

I'm running on a CentOS system, and installed from source.

 

My netstat - na | grep ":25 " indicates:

 

tcp0  0 0.0.0.0:25  0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN

 

My Defaults.py has:

DELIVERY_MODULE = 'SMTPDirect'

MTA = 'Manual'

SMTPHOST = 'localhost'

SMTPPORT = 0  # default from smtplib

SENDMAIL_CMD = '/usr/lib/sendmail'

 

(and none are overwritten by anything in mm_cfg.py)

mm_cfg.py has:

add_virtualhost('www.domainname.tld', 'domainname.tld')

 

/etc/hosts has:

127.0.0.1localhost localhost.localdomain

 

I've tried changing the SMTPHOST to my local server name, and the actual IP
address for the server.

 

/etc/access has a RELAY command for 127.0.0.1 and all IPs assigned to the
server.

 

Any other suggestions - I've got a client who needs to get an email out to
the list asap.

 

--Will
