This issue has been posted before, but each case is different and the host is not being terribly helpful in this case. This is a Drupal 5.16 CiviCRM 1.8 site. Yes, 1.8--when I was given this site fix it up, just last week, it was Drupal 5.1.

Anyhow, If I use smtp.mysite.com:25 for the SMTP settings and attempt to email a contact I get:

Code: [Select]

[to_string] => [pear_error: message="php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known" code=0 mode=callback callback=CRM_Core_Error::handle prefix="" info=""]

If I use localhost:25 then I get:

Code: [Select]

[to_string] => [pear_error: message="Connection refused" code=111 mode=callback callback=CRM_Core_Error::handle prefix="" info=""]

I tried using other ports but all give the same result. The host used the Drupal contactus form, which of course works, and he sent me a snippet from the mail log, apparently to prove to me that localhost works, but I don't know how to read it exactly.

I tried enabling debugging in packages/Mail/smtp.php and I get simply:

Code: [Select]

DEBUG: Send: QUIT

Any suggestions how to further debug this?

To follow up, the host had claimed that the error was "caused by a glitch in the software." Since I couldn't convince them otherwise, I installed this SMTP tester Pear package on the site:

http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/14.html

When that gave the same error, then they decided to fix it. They did and now it works.
