Anyone know what/where/how?


SMTP connect to localhost failed
SMTP transaction error while fetching mail from mail.myserver.com

To the best of my knowledge I've not tinkered with anything to do with this today (or any other day for that matter....)

Thoughts apprecaited..

Try :

telnet localhost smtp

If that fails, then either sendmail is not running or your machine is having trouble resolving localhost.

I thought sendmail was for er.... sending mail... hehe!
