Pegasus Mail & Mercury

My php mail scripts were working fine, but now I get SMTP server response: 550 5.7.1 errors. The scrips are the same, I haven't changed them from when they were working. I haven't made any change to Mercury either. I've tried checking the logs but none show up. I checked MercuryS and session logging is enabled.

 Anyone have any ideas on what the problem could be?

 I've tried this simple test script even:

<?php
    if (mail('test@localhost', 'Test - Subject -', 'Test - Message'))
        echo "It went";
    else
        echo "nope";
?>

nope....

For anyone to help, it may be best to post the unaltered session log which shows this error.

Right, but that's what I mean. No logs are showing up. The only ones are from the last time I was testing scripts with mail stuff in them. For example, this is the last log:

T 20080526 020713 48306745 MAIL FROM:<Admin@localhost>
T 20080526 020713 48306745 RCPT TO:<test@localhost>
T 20080526 020713 48306745 DATA - 12 lines, 547 bytes.
T 20080526 020713 48306745 QUIT
T 20080526 020713 48306745 Connection closed with 127.0.0.1, 0 sec. elapsed.

 It's from May.

 
One other thing, when I use the 'send mail' function on the Mercury interface it sends OK.

Isn't there a way to make this program accept anything from anyone? It's just sitting on my test environment.
 

That's not a session log.  You'll find them in the directory you specified with a name starting 'tcp'.

You're not talking to Mercury!  Make sure you're talking to 127.0.0.1.  Make sure that "telnet 127.0.0.1 25" gets you to a Mercury SMTP server.  (Mercury doesn't do ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES; say "ehlo localhost" and you'll see a list of extensions not including ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES if you're on Mercury, and will if you're on another server.)

I know. It's not making those either. The last tcp file is even older than May.

Sabahattin, I'm sure I have things set up as you say. Like I said, things were working then quit. In the php.ini I have SMTP = 127.0.0.1 and smtp_port = 25.

OK - this must have been a damn Gremlin. I just restarted Mercury for the forth time and now everything seems to be sending. i didn't chance a single thing... She must be a finicky girl.

Do you by any chance have another SMTP server running on the same machine? (IIS SMTP services accidentally turned on maybe)

No logs & the response in your OP means Mercury is not being connected to, looks a lot like another server already listening on port 25, the repeated restarts may have finally grabbed the port for Mercury.

That's a pretty good thought dilbert. You were right - the IIS SMTP was running. I turned it off since I haven't been using it anyway. Hopefully that fixes things. THANKS!
