An error occurred while sending mail (Connection refused - connect(2) for "localhost" port 25)

Added by Sajjad Ahmed about 3 years ago

Hello,

When I try to send test email, I am getting the red box error.

An error occurred while sending mail (Connection refused - connect(2) for "localhost" port 25)

Below is my configuration.yml

production:
email_delivery:
delivery_method: :smtp
smtp_settings:
address: 89.19.*.***
port: 587
authentication: :login
domain: *.com.tr
user_name: mailer@
.com.tr
password: *
***

the productin.log shows some IP address, which is not of the redmine server or anything. Any help would be appreciated, as I am struck with this for 2 days.

Hi, same (or similar) problem here...
Did you manage to solve your problem?
I have a remote smtp server in my configuration.yml, but (according to the test email error message) the server still wants to connect to the local smtp server: "An error occurred while sending mail (Connection refused - connect(2) for "localhost" port 25)". Why?

Hi, I've got the same error message, and after hours of reading and testing it appeared to be space problem in configuration.yml file, see screen.
