smtp conect() failed

smtp conect() failed
My system is failing to send mail. I belive that I have correctly configured the $db_smtp_server to 'localhost'. The error indicates that the smtp connect () failed: Unkown error. I have looked through all the posts involving this error and I don't think I have configured anything wrongly.

Incidentaly, my links system was working and my ISP moved my site to another physical server. I have since confirmed that they have a current version of Perl installed - ActivePerl 5.6.0.613. Everything else but the smtp send is working properly.

Any help/pointers would be greatly appreciated

You cannot use localhost...you must use your domain name, like the following:

Code:

$db_smtp_server = 'yourdomain.com';

Actually I have tried using the following:$db_smtp_server = 'nigeria-resources.com' which also failed. I have just retried it and I got the same error.

Then contact your hosting company to find out the CORRECT smtp server config you should be using!
