My Smtp Port is not allowing me to send emails out, but i can get emails in
I am using the thunderbird mail client, and i tried to access to send mail and the following message occurred all of a sudden, i have not changed any setting on the server, but i i cannot seem to figure out what to do. I am new to linux, so i would need some to explain to me what happen so i can resolve this issue. i received the following message when i try to send emails, i can receive email, not send any.
ERROR MESSAGE: An error occurred during a connection to mail.b1fam.com:25
SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.
(Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_lo
I am using a Linux based Plesk 10 control panel, running on a centos 5 os. My control panel is also sending me this message as well, i am not sure if this is related to the error in the mail client:
################# SSL Certificate Warning ################
Certificate for hostname 'Parallels Panel', in file:
/usr/local/psa/var/certifi
The certificate needs to be renewed; this can be done
using the 'genkey' program.
Browsers will not be able to correctly connect to this
web site using SSL until the certificate is renewed.
##########################
Generated by certwatch(1)
i checked the ports on my wireless router, and all are assigned properly
smtp:25
pop3:110
I went in the panel and create a new self signing certificate, but it did not resolve this issue, so i made the original certificate the default once i saw the new one did not work. Please help. If any one can direct me in the right path that would be great.

As I said before on your previous question, port 25 is not used for secure encrypted email. Either switch it to standard unencrypted email or change the port to 465 or 587, whichever your ISP requires.

I dont know how to switch to port 587 on the server, but i did switch the port on my router. tell me what i need to do thanks
No, you need to switch the port in Thunderbird. Each connection in Thunderbird has to match the mail server it is connecting to. Plain, unencrypted, email goes out on port 25. Secure encrypted email usually goes out on port 465. In any case, they have to match both the port and the method that the mail server is using. Your email will not work until they match. Find out what your mail server or ISP requires and set your Thunderbird connection to that.
