Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to localhost:25

Hi,

after a reboot (by EV1 panel), I get this error in one of our php script :


Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to localhost:25 in . . ..


What's the problem ?

Does the same happen with the IP or domain name?

Make sure you haven't enabled the WHM > Tweak Security > SMTP Tweak, as that's exactly what that does.

No, We use port 25.

All thing was done before Reboot.

You seem to be consuing what I said with something else. Have you checked that that setting I mentioned is not enabled? That setting blocks access to port 25 from localhost.

I'm just wondering if you think this SMTP tweak should be on or off.
Do you have it enabled or disabled?

I don't use it myself. However, if you believe you have outgoing spam abusing port 25, then it's worth implementing unless you use an iptables configuration script. In that case, you would have to use that to block port 25 in ther same manner as the SMTP Tweak does.

I understand. Thank you for your reply...
