Subject: Re: [otrs] Sending email in OTRS--RESOLVED

I figured it out myself.  For some reason, otrs didn’t like the FQDN of my mailserver for the smtp settings, but rather wanted just the server name.  I initially had mail.xxxxx.org as the host, but changed it to serverxxxxx, and now it sends just fine.

I suspect that the FQDN and the 'netbios' IP addresses (?) resolve to different IP addresses.  You firewall probably doesn't work well with a loopback connection.

 

well done...
