Lots of Connection Failures Sending Mail Today
Question asked by Bob Bell - 5/18/2016 at 2:09 PM
Unanswered
All of a sudden today, after years of minimal problems, I am having trouble sending email from Smartermail. Below is a snapshot of the connection failures from the Delivery Logs. Also, all emails to GMAIL are bouncing with some IPv6 error. I don't even have IPv6 IPs bound to my server. Either it's a new rule set into play by Google today, or something else is whacked. Any idea what's going on all of a sudden?

Rebooting the server fixed the problem. Not sure what was wrong. I think port 25 somehow got closed in the firewall.
