https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-insight/email-notification-problems-sp-2-1/m-p/3101411#M10293 Looks like the IM7 host machine wasn't able to establish a connection with the SMTP server. One way to troubleshoot is to go to the IM7 server and try to telnet to the SMTP server:<BR /><BR />telnet COMPUTERNAME:25<BR /><BR />If the server is reachable and responds on port 25, then the SMTP server should be available.

I have also set up email notification on each individual compaq server.<BR /><BR />I have also set up an email notification task on the management server to email me when a critical event occurs.<BR /><BR />Looking at the task log it says the task was run but "could not connect to SMTP host COMPUTERNAME port 25, nested exception is: Java.net.socketEception: connect (code=1005)<BR /><BR />Any one have any ideas?
