Help: Can receive e-mails but cannot send them.

posted Sep 27 '09 at 1:09 pm

Hello. I'm running Mercury/32 version 4.6 on a windows xp machine. I've managed to set it up so that I can receive e-mails from my yahoo or any other e-mail address to my Mercury adress which is "postmaster@abdullatif.webhop.org". All e-mails arrive fine to my "MAIL" folder in Mercury, but all hell breaks loose when I try to send an e-mail through MercuryE.

Here is what my MercuryE session log file says:

18:28:54.140: --- Sun Sep 27 18:28:54 2009 ---
18:28:54.140: Connect to '216.39.53.1', timeout 60.
18:29:15.140: >> 421 Cannot connect to SMTP server 216.39.53.1 (216.39.53.1:25), connect error 10060<cr><lf>
18:29:15.140: << EHLO abdullatif.webhop.org<cr><lf>
18:29:15.140: --- Connection closed normally at Sun Sep 27 18:29:15 2009. ---

And this is what my mercury.ini file looks like:

# MERCURY.INI generated by Mercury Setup
#
#
# Sample Bindery Mode MERCURY.INI file (in fact, the one I use on
# my production server). This one implements most of the possible
# switches for each module, but you can edit it to do less if you
# wish. All the fields shown below are described in the file
# MGUIDE.HLP which is supplied in the Mercury archive.
#
# Anything after a '#' to the end of the line is a comment and
# is stripped out before parsing. Trailing and leading whitespace
# is also stripped before parsing. Many sample commands have been
# left in this file commented out for reference purposes.

I don't know if this has anything to do with a mail server or not, but I'm also using a service which directs my dynamic IP adress to a url ( dynDNS.com).

Any help would be appreciated.

Good SMTP host

Looks like a case of port 25 blocking. If so then you will have to to MercuryC pointing at your ISPs SMTP host to relay the mail or get the port 25 blocking removed.

This is where you would enter the ISPs host name.

You really need to turn off relaying in MercuryS before you get blocked by black lists.

This would in fact get you blocked by anyone using the dial up networking blacklist that blacklists anyone using a randomly assigned IP address.

&gt; Hello. I'm running Mercury/32 version 4.6 on a windows xp machine. &gt; I've managed to set it up so that I can receive e-mails from my &gt; yahoo or any other e-mail address to my Mercury adress which is &gt; "postmaster@abdullatif.webhop.org". All e-mails arrive fine to my &gt; "MAIL" folder in Mercury, but all hell breaks loose when I try to &gt; send an e-mail through MercuryE. &gt; &nbsp; &gt; Here is what my MercuryE session log file says: &gt; &gt; 18:28:54.140: --- Sun Sep 27 18:28:54 2009 --- &gt; 18:28:54.140: Connect to '216.39.53.1', timeout 60. 220 mta368.mail.re4.yahoo.com ESMTP YSmtp service ready Good SMTP host &gt; 18:29:15.140: &gt;&gt; 421 Cannot connect to SMTP server 216.39.53.1 (216.39.53.1:25), connect error 10060&lt;cr&gt;&lt;lf&gt; &gt; 18:29:15.140: &lt;&lt; EHLO abdullatif.webhop.org&lt;cr&gt;&lt;lf&gt; &gt; 18:29:15.140: --- Connection closed normally at Sun Sep 27 18:29:15 2009. --- Looks like a case of port 25 blocking.&nbsp; If so then you will have to to MercuryC pointing at your ISPs SMTP host to relay the mail or get the port 25 blocking removed. &gt; [General] &gt; myname:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; abdullatif.webhop.org&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; # Canonical name for this server &gt; &gt; [MercuryC] &gt; Host : abdullatif.webhop.org This is where you would enter the ISPs host name. &gt; [MercuryE] &gt; HELO : abdullatif.webhop.org &gt; Session_logging : D:\Downloads\Joomla &gt; Files\xampp\MercuryMail\LOGS\MERCURYE &gt; Session_logmode : 1 &gt; Poll : 15 &gt; Timeout : 60 &gt; Nameservers : 61.207.11.153,221.113.139.137 &gt; Logfile : MERCURYELOG.txt &gt; Log_Verbose : 0 &gt; DNS_Timeout : 20 &gt; DNS_Retries : 4 &gt; Transcripts : 1 &gt; MaxThreads : 10 &gt; &gt; [MercuryS] &gt; Debug : 1 &gt; HELO : abdullatif.webhop.org &gt; Logfile : D:\Downloads\Joomla &gt; Files\xampp\MERCURYMAIL\Logs\MERCURYS.LOG &gt; Timeout : 30 &gt; Relay : 1 &gt; Strict_Relay : 0 You really need to turn off relaying in MercuryS before you get blocked by black lists. &gt; Interface : 118.8.156.202 &gt; Allow_Illegals : 0 &gt; SMTP_Authentication : 0 &gt; Compliance_Settings : 0 &gt; Maximum_Failed_Rcpts : 4 &gt; Max_Relay_Attempts : 4 &gt; SSL_Mode : 0 &gt; ST_Blacklisting : 288 &gt; No_VRFY : 0 &gt; SMTP_ConnFlags : 0 &gt; &gt; &gt; [Domains] &gt; localhost: abdullatif.webhop.org &gt; localhost: localhost.net &gt; localhost: localhost.org &gt; localhost: localhost.com &gt; &gt; I don't know if this has anything to do with a mail server or not, &gt; but I'm also using a service which directs my dynamic IP adress to a &gt; url ( dynDNS.com). This would in fact get you blocked by anyone using the dial up networking blacklist that blacklists anyone using a randomly assigned IP address.
