email notification problems SP 2.1

[Peter Stringer]

I have set up email properly i.e Settings-Server-email on the management server. I have also set up email notification on each individual compaq server.

I have also set up an email notification task on the management server to email me when a critical event occurs.

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)

Any one have any ideas?

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:

telnet COMPUTERNAME:25

If the server is reachable and responds on port 25, then the SMTP server should be available.
