MaIL::SENDER:: error

motlnt

Hi All,
I am facing this issue on my CMS box with email server.

The error thrown from my email sender script is:

COULD NOT SEND EMAIL: connect() failed: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine.


I am using mail:sender PM

Mail:ender->new(
{
from => "$from_realname <$from_email>",
to => (join ",", @recipient_emails),
subject => $subject,
smtp => $SMTP,
}
);

my env:
TS 6.5 SP1
win2003

any comments?

Thx in advance

Well - for starters - have you verified that $SMTP is a valid SMTP server and that you can connect to it from your CMS box (telnet $SMTP 25)?
My guess is you'll have to work with your local mail-server-admin to check through the logs to figure out what's happening. It's possible that some security / anti-spam type code might be rejecting the connection if it doesn't recognize the sender as being a valid user of the server.
