mail() don't work, The Perfect Setup Ubuntu 6.10

[antoinel12]

Hello,

I recently installed my server. It run fine except for the mail sending. My PHP scripts can't send mail with the function mail(). In phpMyVisites I can see that the function is activated on the server but not seems to work...

[till]

Which messages do you get in the mail.log when you send mail?

[antoinel12]

where is that file?

[antoinel12]

Ok, I've got it, I'll past you in a next post what is in my log...

This is what I see in pico...

Please run

tail -f /var/log/mail.log

, and at the same time send an email with PHP's mail() function. What happens in the tail output?

Are you trying to send to an gmail account?
Please check if you are blacklisted: http://www.mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx

Also make sure your ISP doesn't block port 25.

RESULT: serveur.antoinel12.is-a-geek.net

Banner: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond

Do I need to configure something in my domain name acount (Dyndns)

[falko]

You're on lots of blacklists, and besides I can't connect to your mail server. Make sure Postfix is running and that your firewall doesn't block port 25.
