Hi,

I've setup my dedicated ubuntu server with Postfix, I've gotten it to the point where SMTP-AUTH, SASL and TLS are working and I can send emails externally (Gmail, etc, etc) via SSH.

However, I cannot get my vBulletin forum to work together with it.

No matter what I've tried, I always end up with this error.

Code:

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to tcp://199.188.72.9:25 (Connection refused) in [path]/includes/class_mail.php on line 747

Warning: Unable to connect to SMTP server in [path]/includes/class_mail.php on line 713

I'm hoping maybe someone here has tried doing something similar and knows a way to get this working.

Before anyone ask, I know 100% that my email settings in vBulletin are correct.
and please, if they only thing you have to say is "hur dur, this isn't a vBulletin issue", please don't say anything at all.

I've been trying to get this to work for almost three days now, no luck.
