Sender Mail Adapter issue

Former Member

Hi All,

We are getting this error in Sender Mail adapter.

"exception caught during processing mail message; java.net.ConnectException: A remote host refused an attempted connect operation"

It is a (Lotus Notes) Mail to File scenario.

Used POP3, and gave the URL as POP:// ** .

I have tried pinging the server and getting a good response.

I have also tried the OS01 ans it returned a response : Program Terminated.

I am not sure if the POP3 port is enabled.

Are there any check points we are missing ?

Please throw some light on this as we need to solve this asap ..

check if connectivity is open from PI to Mail server. can you do a telnet to the host and port from PI OS level?

Shabarish is right.

This seem a connectivity issue. Try to ping Mail server from your PI System and check pop3 port.

This clearly shows connectivity error. Check your pop3 port is enabled to communicate with mail server. Also make sure your connection string for pop3 protocol is valid. Example mentioning right host name and port number etc. Also talk to Basis team to see any firewall related issues.

Hi All,

Thank you for the response.

My question might sound silly, but how to check the POP3 port is enabled or not ?

I do not have admin privileges. So how can I check if PI can talk to the mail server.

Is there anything that I can ask the Basis ?

regards,

Yash

Ask Basis team whether PoP3 port is allowed/enabled for outbound communication from your network. If the port is not enabled, you cannot proceed further. Also ask them what port number is assigned for pop3. Default is 110. This could be even different number like 587 or 995.
