Email problem

Hi, just about got through most issues now, have an email problem.

I can send mail to my server from the internet - but cannot send from my server to the internet, im sure this is something simple... I am testing directly from the server.

Thanks Andy

Howdy,

What error(s) do you get when you attempt to send a message? You can see the email logs in /var/log/maillog or /var/log/mail.log.

Also, are you sure that your ISP isn't blocking outgoing SMTP requests?

Howdy,

The only error I see in that is:

Oct 13 12:28:52 ns1 postfix/sendmail[4926]: fatal: usage: sendmail [options]

That could simply be from the way Postfix is being called -- how are you going about testing outgoing emails?

If you have the "mail" tool installed, you can use that from the command line to send a test.
