Re: Facing problem of network write error :timed out

I am able to connect to the server and telnet on port 25. The server is responding to smtp requests. But the error is still comming.

  Usuall means that the server you are sending to is offline, or not accepting port 25 requests (SMTP)
  you can test this by typing 'telnet <servername or ip> 25' and you should get the SMTP hello prompt.

    Hi

    I have installed serialmail . It is configured in crontab to push mails to another mail server. It was working properly earlier as expected. Now it is observed that when ever maildirsmtp is run , mails do not get pushed . I have tried this from command line also. 
    The mail server to which i am pushing mails is available and smtp is also running on it.

    I am getting following errors always:

    serialsmtp: fatal: network write error: timed out
    serialsmtp: fatal: network write error: timed out
    serialsmtp: fatal: network write error: timed out
    maildirserial: fatal: making no progress, giving up

    Sometimes i get this error also "serialsmtp: fatal: network read error: timed out".

    Right i am stucked with this problem. I am using another software sendqmailq temporarily for pushing mails.

    I want to know if anyone observed this problem and also ways to eliminate this problem.

    Thanks
    Wilson
