Hi Stewart,
This week I installed nmh 1.7.1.
Do you know what version you were on before? Was it a 1.6?
Trying to connect to "localhost" ...
Connecting to ::1:2525...
Connection failed: Connection refused
Connecting to 127.0.0.1:2525...
Connection failed: Connection refused
That means there is no program listening on port 2525 to accept the mail
from nmh to start its journey. Do you have a local mail server, like
Sendmail, Postfix, Qmail, or Exim, that you expect to be used? 2525 is
an odd port; it's normally 25 or 587. 2525 suggests you're trying to
work around some network-traffic filtering of port 25, or your server
doesn't have the privilege to listen on port 25.
See if you've any parameters being given to send(1) by your
~/.mh_profile with `mhparam send'. And examine your system's
/etc/nmh/mts.conf; that's the default mts.conf file unless you override
it with send's -mts option.
but suggested for anything else I go to nmh-workers.
Yes, good idea. Keep replying to the list, and we'll keep CCing you in
our replies.
