Hi,

I am running a local Microsoft IIS 5 smtp server on the Windows XP machine. In the php.ini, I have specified localhost as the smtp server. When I go to the Wiki logon page, type my username and hit the "Email password" button, I get the following error message:

Error sending mail: Failed to connect to localhost:25 [SMTP: Failed to connect socket: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine. (code: -1, response: )]

I don't know what the problem is. When I try to logon to the smtp server using "telnet localhost 25", it does not work ("Connect failed"). Thanks for your help.

Where have you received the error message?

From your wiki box, can you access the smtp server manually? (e.g. telnet

mail.server.local 25)

Hi all,

I installed Mediawiki in a company intranet behind a proxy server. The smtp server the company is using is a Microsoft Exchange Server. My problem is that I don't know how I can specify this Microsoft Exchange Server to send my mail. I specified the address of the Exchange server in the php.ini but I got the error message that the connection failed.

I also tried to use the internal Microsoft smtp server (IIS 5) on the local machine. But it also did not connect to the destination mail server.

I would appreciate any help how to configure the smtp server in my case.
