SMTP not working

[matrixn]

i dont have a mail.log (i have opensuse 11.1)

deviantway:/var/log # ls -l | grep mail
drwxr-x--- 2 root   mail        4096 Dec 22 00:29 exim
-rw-r----- 1 root   root     1951768 Dec 23 12:50 mail
-rw-r----- 1 root   root       37533 Dec 23 12:46 mail.err
-rw-r----- 1 root   root      934972 Dec 23 12:50 mail.info
-rw-r----- 1 root   root      531364 Dec 23 12:50 mail.warn

very strange thing... i made the connection manually in thunderbird 3 and aparently the smtp is working.. but the account wizard tester from Mozilla thunderbird 3 seems is not able to connect via smtp...

here is a log from file /var/log/mail when i was sending a message via smtp with thunderbird 3

Make sure that you have a correct reverse dns record for the IP address of your server. Additionally, you can add SPF records for your domain.

You can tail -f /var/log/mail then

(I'm using debian, there i have a /var/log/mail.log .. opensuse probably has a /var/log/mail)

Next step is fixing your amavisd ;-)

[matrixn]

how to fix amavisd? i don`t know anything about amavisd.. totally n00b in this section.

Is ClamAV installed? Make sure the ClamAV section in your amavisd configuration is correct (paths, etc.).
