In trying to implement this, I've run into a complication. I can't
send mail using this method. I don't get a greeting message/banner and
it doesn't seem to be able to authenticate me.
When I submit on 25, it's fine. When I try to submit on 465, it fails.
I'm using 4.43 against a MySQL db as outlined at:
<
http://maxo.captainnet.net/installs/mailserver/>
I added the two lines shown above to my configure file and restarted
the daemon. When I telnet to the machine on 25, I get:
[smudette:~] michael% telnet mail smtp
Trying 69.17.37.194...
Connected to smudo.emjay.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mail.emjay.net ESMTP Exim 4.43 Thu, 24 Feb 2005 11:13:20 -0500
When I telnet on 465, I get:
[smudette:~] michael% telnet mail 465
Trying 69.17.37.194...
Connected to smudo.emjay.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
That's it...even after a minute of waiting. Nothing after the initial
connection. No greeting message/banner.
What am I missing?
