Jesse Thank you for your help and follow-up. It appears Log Server won't fit into our environment. The mail server we are having problems connecting to is hosted at NetworkSolutions and we have no control over its configuration or settings. Unfortunately, this is the server we would want to use for ...

Made some progress over the weekend.

Made connection to our mail server's private (inside) IP address via L2L VPN. When the test button is hit, it says test was successful, check to see that test email was received.

Checked all associated accounts, but no email was there.

Where does it go?

Have sent pm with mail account information.

Tried to use this account information as test from Log Server ... no joy.

Can't tell if we are making any progress. 1. The save login before "test" did not work. 2. Performed the tcpdump but am unable to capture the entire output from the VM window ... tcpdump results are returned, but the error is still spawned. The best I can do is the screen shot of the VM wi...

The "tail" does not return anything after the daemon starts and the test button is depressed.

TIA

Seems to indicate problem may be in some setting in Log Server that I'm not aware of ... I assume there are no bugs in the software

Two separate mail servers tried, neither of which is Exchange.

* Self-owned BlueOnyx (linux) server at one of our branches

Thanks for the reply.

I suspect the problem is elsewhere.

I have tried specification of the smtp server by IP address in lieu of FQDN and receive the same error.

Have also tried other security parameters and mail ports other than 25 with no success.

Any other ideas?

TIA

Thanks for the response.

I'm doing an eval to see whether Log Server will work for us and just loaded the .ova package.

It doesn't appear to have nmap present.

Thanks anyway.
