barup Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 I've got a problem getting email notifications up and running again on a win2003 server with Retrospect 7.6.123 If I press the Send test email button, Retrospect pops up the error: Email notification failed: Error -541 I have changed the log level, and here is the output from a test mail: soctSetThread: socket thread now 0xd58 smtpOpen: connecting using port 49.152 soccOpen: socket send buffer size is 65.536 soccOpen: socket recv buffer size is 65.536 soccCallback: FD_CONNECT failed, error 10061 smtpOpen: connection failed using port 49.152 smtpSend: "QUIT" I'm a bit puzzled, not only has this setup been running for more than a year, only change has been a change of ip-adresses internally on the network. I'm using an ip adresse to connect to the smtp server, and I've done a manual test mail via command prompt: telnet smtp-server 25 helo server mail from: from@email.address rcpt to: to@email.address data some data . Also I'm a bit confused about the -541 error, because email sending shouldn't have anything to do with the retrospect client.

Lennart_T Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 If I remember correctly, you have to provide the port number if you specify the smtp server by IP (not by name). Example: 10.1.2.3:25 (Yes, it's a bug) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barup Posted November 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Hi Lennart Yep that did the trick, I was actually looking for a place to specify the port number, but didn't try this simple fix. What puzzles me is, that it just stopped working, and that error -541 message was a bit off. thanks and have a nice evening. Lars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ericfoos Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 This helped me out too! New install, using local server to relay. The error message is not much help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
