• SMTP Error 115 connecting to SMTP Server

    From Bamageek@1:103/705 to All on Fri Feb 3 11:56:22 2017
    Hey guys

    I'm working on trying to get this system set up and was testing sending messages to & from my gmail account to my SBBS
    account.

    My BBS is running ona Raspberry Pi. My Domain is hosted by Namecheap using their basic DNS server. I'm using the A+
    Dynamic DNS to redirect everythign to the Pi and for my mail settings I set up a MXE record to point back to the Pi.

    The problem is I seem to be able to receive emails from outside, but if I try to reply or send messages I get an error:
    SEND ERROR 115 connecting to SMTP server: gmail.com

    Can somebody tell me what an error 115 is?

    Thanks,

    Dave

    Pretty sure that will mean something else on the Pi is already using port 25, so sbbs can't get control of it.

    ... Chuck Norris knows the last digit of pi.

    Now don't put too much faith in my answer as I'm also slowly learning Rasbian... but are you using samba? It could possably be a mounting issue. Another is what port are you using for the connect? Port 25 maybe blocked.

    Can somebody tell me what an error 115 is?

    On Linux, error 115 is defined as:
    /usr/include/asm-generic/errno.h:#define EINPROGRESS 115 /* Operation now in progress */

    gmail.com doesn't seem like the correct mail server for gmail.com email address however. The mail exchanges (MX) for gmail.com are not "gmail.com":
    root@cvs:~# host -t mx gmail.com
    gmail.com mail is handled by 10 alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com.
    gmail.com mail is handled by 20 alt2.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com.
    gmail.com mail is handled by 30 alt3.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com.
    gmail.com mail is handled by 40 alt4.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com.
    gmail.com mail is handled by 5 gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com.

    So I suspect that your DNS server configuration is wrong (?). Further back in the mail server log output might provide the necessary clue.

    Pretty sure that will mean something else on the Pi is already using port 25, so sbbs can't get control of it.

    Outbound connections don't use the server port number (25 in this case), so that's not it.

    Ok still trying to figure out how to use this message window so forgive me for not quoting the previous messags!

    I checked netstat doesn't show anything else using port 25 and the bbs appears to connect to it ok when it starts up. I do get one error I'm not sure about:

    2/3 18:11:18 mail Adding POP3 Server listening socket on :: port 110
    2/3 18:11:18 web Error creating TLS certificate: cryptlib error -22 at ssl.c:102


    Actually port 110 may be in use

    As for samba I'm not using it that I know of but it may be installed. I'll try to see.
