Upgrade- your opinions
« on: June 29, 2002, 09:30:22 AM »
I have been running V5 with blades4.  I have quite a few 'addons' i.e. Myphpnuke, Phorum, ACID with Snort, Squid, Phprojekt, Gallery, and others.

I have recently (I cannot definitavely come up with when it started) been without any 'mail' function, nothing in or out.  It DID work at ~the first of the year.  Anyway I really need it with the recent addition of my personal and business web site being hosted on my e-smith.

What would be the opinion of some who know of whether I would gain any advantage (and possible 'fix' my mail) by Upgrading to 5.1.2?  

As far as the mail function, I could copy /var/log/messages (in another post or by email) or other pertinent logs and, if someone was willing, get an idea of what in my e-smith is broken.  No errors are present when mail is sent through whatever means. In fact it always says it has been sent successfully.  I connect through ATT, with my e-smith in server-gateway.  As I said, mail *did* work.  I have DHCP in my local network (disabled externally).  Either a package I have installed or an option I have changed has disabled the thing. My mail server is either mail.attbi.com, or 216.148.227.71.  My business site is http://12.255.15.93/ace-net-tech/

Thanks for any help.

You could start by simply trying to telnet on port 25 to the  or any email server you deliver your mail to and see if that works. If not you have a network problem.

If it does you need more help then I can give:-)
