"Could not connect to smtp host : 111 : Connection refu

[lolkrusty]

When I try to register a user, after the registration screen,  i have this message

"Ran into problems sending Mail. Response: 502 Error: command not implemented"
with smtp.free.fr

or

"Could not connect to smtp host : 111 : Connection refused"
with smtp.club-internet.fr

in my "mailer.inc.php":
$CONFIG['smtp_host'] = 'smtp.club-internet.fr';
$CONFIG['smtp_username'] = 'myrealusername';
$CONFIG['smtp_password'] = 'mypassword';

What is the problem?

Are you attempting to use Sendmail on one server when you are hosted on another?

[Joachim Müller]

there have been various issues with the free host free.fr. My first guess is they won't allow you to use sendmail at all. Please do a lookup on their site (some howto) or contact the staff there for help and let us know, so we can add the information to the faq...

thx

sendmail is not installed on my server.
I'm going to send a mail to free.fr for help.

Do you know with witch provider it can be run?


--sorry for my poor english... --

[Joachim Müller]

let's get this straight: you're running your own server and you don't have sendmail installed? Well, this is surely the answer...
As far as I remember there has been a similar thread on the old board - I definitely have to get the old board working again...

I am having the same problem, will it work with mail.xxx.com instead of smtp.xxx.com? My server has sendmail... thanks!

[Joachim Müller]

the name of the server doesn't matter, be it "mail.foo.bar" or "smtp.foo.bar". Why don't you just try for yourself?

I did, but for some reason, it is still not having errors. any ideas what I missed out?
