ssmtp : Cannot open uit.telenet.be:25

Hi there.

I'm trying to email with ssmtp.

This is my ssmtp.conf :
Quote:
[root@asterisk ~]# cat /usr/ssmtp/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf
#
# /etc/ssmtp.conf -- a config file for sSMTP sendmail.
#
DEBUG=yes
# The person who gets all mail for userids < 1000
# Make this empty to disable rewriting.
root=postmaster
# The place where the mail goes. The actual machine name is required
# no MX records are consulted. Commonly mailhosts are named mail.domain.com
# The example will fit if you are in domain.com and you mailhub is so named.
mailhub=uit.telenet.be
# Where will the mail seem to come from?
rewriteDomain=asterisk
# The full hostname
hostname=asterisk.nw.local
UseSTARTTLS=YES
#UseTLS=YES
AuthUser=*****
AuthPass=*****
#AuthMethod=plain
This is the command I issue :
Code:
[root@asterisk ~]# /usr/ssmtp/sbin/ssmtp -v jonas.kellens@telenet.be
This is the maillog :
Code:
Aug 13 20:25:16 asterisk sSMTP[29268]: Set Root="postmaster" 
Aug 13 20:25:16 asterisk sSMTP[29268]: Set MailHub="uit.telenet.be"

Aug 13 20:25:25 asterisk sSMTP[29268]: stdin is a TTY - not saving to /root/dead.letter
My firewall on this host is stopped. On the network firewall port 25 is opened to allow smtp-traffic.

well can you telnet to it directly? There is unlikely to be much chance of being able to with such a clear error message, so I'd be looking elsewhere along the network path if indeed you can't.

Does the SMTP from telenet supports SSL ?

from the wording, it doesn't sound like it's getting that far, and stuck at pure TCP level. I may well be wrong though.

The SMTP server answers
500 5.5.1 command unrecognized

IMHO he is already connected to the server, and busy with negotiating.

AFAIK you don't need to provide user name and pass in order to use uit.telenet.be
For ssl try port 993

So I commented out my credentials :

Code:
# /etc/ssmtp.conf -- a config file for sSMTP sendmail.
#
DEBUG=yes
# The person who gets all mail for userids < 1000
# Make this empty to disable rewriting.
root=postmaster
# The place where the mail goes. The actual machine name is required
# no MX records are consulted. Commonly mailhosts are named mail.domain.com
# The example will fit if you are in domain.com and you mailhub is so named.
mailhub=uit.telenet.be
# Where will the mail seem to come from?
rewriteDomain=asterisk.networkx.be
# The full hostname
hostname=asterisk.nw.local
#UseSTARTTLS=YES
#UseTLS=YES
#AuthUser=*****
#AuthPass=*****
#AuthMethod=plain
And maillog :
Code:
Aug 14 10:23:58 asterisk sSMTP[5334]: 220 gerard.telenet-ops.be bizsmtp ESMTP server ready 
Aug 14 10:23:58 asterisk sSMTP[5334]: HELO asterisk.nw.local

Another issue :

When I issue this command :

Code:
[root@asterisk ~]# mail -v -s test jonas.kellens@telenet.be
it stays that way...

Then I press ctrl+D and the output is displayed :
Code:
Null message body; hope that's ok

I find it not logic that when I give the parameter '-v', I do not see the output till I press ctrl+D ?!
