Hello, my Port 25 in VPS 10 is closed. Does anyone know how to open it up? I've followed the tutorial over the internet, but no solution.

Anyone know it? Because port 25 is not blocked by the ToS, I guess.

VPS 10 provided by Evolution-Host.

Perry,

No, I guess. I already tried,

Code: (Select All)

sudo ufw allow 25
sudo ufw reload

But not succeed.
Any suggestion guys?
Anyway, the status is closed not blocked, but I don't really know.

164.zzz:25 port is closed

not really sure, though was thinking of blocking port 25 myself as well due to not having anything on the node itself currently like nodewatch for xen to monitor for & catch abuse.

I was going to use SMTP port to send e-mail for me. Yes, for me.

So the basic concept of my website is to promote my self about my skill in programming, so, if a client left a message inside the contact form, it will sent me, automatically, the message to my e-mail. So I can get in touch as soon as possible with them.

I guess it doesn't require you to have smtp port 25 for achieving this you can simply use php's mail function instead of messing around with ports and firewall.

I do, at first I use PHP mailer, I already tried it from local, but when I tried from my website, it doesn't work.

I think the port 25 should be open for sending mail with php, because inside php.ini, it's using SMTP server to sent with localhost and port 25.

I will check my local php.ini, it should be same.

Hello,
I contacted The VPS 10 Provider and here is a copy of what they had said:

Hello,

I can confirm that all ports are currently open on 1xx.1xx.1xx.xxx.

Please let us know if we can provide any further assistance.

Best regards,

to use ufw you have to install the package first. its not available in default. here is some commands. how to install

sudo aptitude install ufw
or
sudo apt-get install ufw

then check the status..

sudo ufw status

now just done with this command.

sudo ufw default allow incoming
and
sudo ufw default allow outgoing

Ok, I looked up to this one and done telnet localhost 25, it works perfectly. I'm sorry, my fault.

So now the problem is after I install sendmail package, I received that I sent the email, but I don't receive it.

By the way, the case is closed now.

Thanks for all suggestion.
