Connection Refused :7025

[Rocketrrt]

Hi,

I am using the Network Edition 8.8.6 with the trail key. I am trying to install and everything looks like it going properly and it completes. Everything is green and checked in Server Status . I cannot receive any mail. It is all going to the Deferred Queues. I get an error delivery temporarily suspended - Connect to mail.spears-research.com[172.95.84.4]:7025 connection refused.

My server is actually 192.168.0.8 and the 172.95.84.4 is the public ip address for the this server. This address is on the MX record at Namecheap for domain spears-research.com Of course we do not let telnet on 172.95.84.4 and if you try you will get this error (connection refused). I never entered that address (172) during the install.

My /etc/hosts is:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
192.168.0.8 mail.spears-research.com mail

How do I make this look at the 192 address instead of the 172 address?

I know I must doing something stupid, but I am not sure what it is. I am new with mail servers but I did have Apache James and Ice Warp working.

Not sure what else to look at, any help would greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Ron

DNSmasq is the easiest solution IMHO.

Hi,

Thank you Klug. I have reviewed and implemented the dnsmasq solution.
