  • Continuation of the error log

    From Rick V@VERT to All on Saturday, April 19, 2025 10:26:46
    Hello All.

    This is the rest of the error log for the sending problem.

    10:25:16 1816 SMTP Session thread started

    Sorry for the length of the log file. Do I have a wrong setting or what am I missing?

    Hey Rick,

    Looks like you're not setting the HELO name during the SMTP session.
    The following wiki page may be helpful: https://wiki.synchro.net/

    server:mail?s[]=smtp.

    Best,
    Ray

    These log messages indicate an incoming conntion (receive) activity - Not sending. Sending activity is indicated with the word "SEND" in the log messages.

    Do you recoginize the IP address 3.149.229.176? It looks like something just
    scanning your ports that didn't expect to find an SMTP server there.

    I retract my previous reply. Looks like Digital Man is right. It's an
    incoming connection, not an outgoing one.

    D'oh!

    No clue who that might be. The scanning ports sounds more like it.
