Description Ethan Grammatikidis 2015-04-05 19:41:20 UTC

i just installed claws-mail and made two accounts. one works fine, one doesn't. the one which works correctly was created with imap4 protocol. smtp authentication is enabled and works correctly. A line from the log of a successful send:

* Account 'eekee57@fastmail.fm@mail.messagingengine.com': Connecting to SMTP server: mail.messagingengine.com:465...


the other account is a sort of alias of the first. i can receive mail at anything@eekee57.fastmail.fm; this account was created to send from such an address. it was created with protocol "none (smtp only)". i configured sending exactly as for the first account, but sending fails with "connection refused". i had a closer look, and it turns out when i try to send mail with this account it attempts to connect to port 25! Here's how it looks in the log:

* Account 'Cyall': Connecting to SMTP server: mail.messagingengine.com:25...
*** mail.messagingengine.com:25: connection failed (Connection refused).
*** mail.messagingengine.com:25: connection failed (Connection refused).
*** Error occurred while sending the message.


this smtp-only account is configured with the same send settings as the working one: same server (i copy-pasted); smtp auth enabled; auth method automatic. why is it using a different port?

You also need to set up the account's SSL settings;  Have you told it to use an SSL connection?  Anything else, and sending defaults to port 25.

Further to my previous;  If I've misunderstood what you're trying to do, you could also look at the account's Advanced settings, and change the SMTP port there.

ah. now i've set it to use ssl, and it connects. thank you, sorry about that.
