Have you set your username and password in the mail server itself?
If you have this type of error in the server mail log...
You don't.
Also, check that your mail port on the mail server is set to accept connections from the vB server's IP address. It looks like the connection is being refused at the firewall level.
And the one you didn't want to hear, is the mail server info set properly in ACP->Settings->Options->Email Options (at the bottom of the page). HINT: the mail server address for Postfix is almost always mail.domain.name.
Yeah.
I've added the forum's IP address to the list of mynetworks under Postfix, the log still shows NO trace at ALL of the forums connecting to it.
As for the name, I just have the IP, which is what the AdminCP apparently recommends for SMTP servers. All the tools I've been using are having no trouble reaching the mail server.
Which makes me wonder where the connection is getting cut...because even though the testing tools are NOT listed in the settings as allowed, they can still connect (and get denied) but vBulletin isn't connecting AT ALL!
