Email

Even with the error, the users are being created on application...but they need to be notified!

It may be that the server is not configured to relay messages from your application/server.  Ask your ISP to allow relaying from that address.  Most ISPs will open up their internal web addresses to allow relaying for their customers, but others you need to ask.  The port may be open but the server thinks you are spam without authentication.  Allowing relay will allow you to send from the application without authentication.

Try with
SMTP Port number 587

check if it works

1. first to confirm if the traffic is not blocked from your network. you can do telnet to email server by the port. if it is successful it should be fine.
telnet smtp.ibpmail.com 465

2. you have to get it confirmed with the Email provider to check the relay for this new server. Email server should allow relaying mails.

C:\Documents and Settings\ercelio.mabote>telnet smtp.ibpmail.com 465
Connecting To smtp.ibpmail.com...Could not open connection to the host, on port
465: Connect failed

can you try from your gateway/router. may be telnet is blocked from your network to outside.

iam using a linux based gateway...iam new to linux and i dont know how to run telnet on it! I access the gateway through a https using  Clear OS

I tried 587, 25 and 465.  None of them gave results from the outside.  It may only respond to certain IP addresses, which goes back to requesting relay access for your ip/app.

if i change the port from 465 to another, i think i will not be able to receive emails at my inbox...as this smtp port is provided by our email provider!

the account configured to notify users is helpdes@akdn.org and i tried changing its smtp details and i stopped sendinding and receiving emails!
Iam now trying to solve it with my ISP...once done i will let u know!

Keep posted.

this is the error i get from the applictaion when i change the port number:
A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable network 194.151.203.112:135

I went to our gateway/firewall and changed the smtp definitions there! I replaced the old ones with the one provided by our ISP (extsmtp.tdm.co.mz) which require no authentication using port 25, and then i sent a test email from there and it was forwarded!

When i use the smtp definitions from my Email Provider, the application returns an error saying: "an existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host"...see the attach!

Now when i log to the application and set the same definitions, the user is created successfully with no error reported, but it still does not notify the user about his creation...

Is this related to my mail provider or ISP?

Thanks...i will be in touch with them and update u as soon as possible!

This is the reply from our email provider:


Your IP is already allowed to use ibpmail smtp gateway since a long time.

Please verify on your side what could be blocking.

Ibpmail admin confirmed me that you should be able to telnet the port 465 of smtp.ibpmail.com
See their reply:

Like we spoke on the phone we don’t see any problems from the IP address 196.28.236.186.
We see hundreds of messages being relayed from AKDN users on our secured SSL server front03 from the IP address 196.28.236.186.

As a matter a fact we even have excluded this IP address from SPOOFING

HI...I logged on the server hosting the application, opened my browser there and went to www.canyouseeme.org and introduced the port number there!

See the result on the attached file...

Any clue?

Is there any chance that our router could be blocking it?
