Port 25 (SMTP)

[Federico]

I've written a PHP script, with no errors, and I cannot conect to ANY SMTP server using port 25. My script gives the error "Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to mail.heliohost.org:25 (Connection timed out)"

 

The problem is NOT related to the server mail.heliohost.org, but to any other one.

 

Does anyone know what is going on?

 

Thank you in advance.

It looks like you scripted it wrong, but I'm no expert on php. My advice? Ask a php forum to see if your code is faulty.

The problem is NOT the PHP script. The script has NO errors. Heliohost seems to be blocking port 25

As far as I know,

Heliohost shouldn't be blocking port25.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

There's no other explanation. The script is correct and has no errors. A year ago this same script worked fine on Heliohost. Evidently they made some changes.

 

Fsockopen CANNOT open a connection on port 25.

Perhaps it's the downtime which caused this.

And nobody is there to fix it now.

We've to wait patiently...

I am very happy with my Go 3 port R Spec and now that I see the 28R will fit the LST2 roto start I think I might have to buy one
