Connection actively refused

Post by mynab »

Hello,

I am using Swift in my application and everything is just fine except on one PC... For the same SMTP setup (host, port...), my app runs fine on one PC but not on another. Strangely enough, Thunderbird is installed on the non-working PC and I can successfully send mails from Thunderbird using the same SMTP setup...

On the non-working PC I get 10061 (connection actively refused) error. If I try to telnet the host on the SMTP port things fail whereas telnet also succeeds on the working PC...

Does anyone know what could prevent Swift (and therefore httpd) and telnet not to connect to the SMTP server when Thunderbird can ?

Thanks,
mynab

Got it. McAfee Viruscan Enterprise was preventing httpd to access some ports...
