Hi,
I'm trying to install the CVS version of SquirrelMail. I checked out
the 1.5.x tree with the following command:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@ co
squirrelmail
When I run configtest.php, I get the following error:
SquirrelMail version: 1.5.1

"guinness.cs.stevens.edu:25".Server error: (0)
The server is running NetBSD 2.0, Apache 2.0.53 with, among others, the
openssl extension for PHP 5.0.4. I can telnet into port 25 of the mail
server. I'm not the sysadmin; I'm just a regular user who wants to access
my email with ssh-ing into the server.
Thanks,
Yasir

Confirm your settings for the SMTP server. Make sure you didn't enable
TLS on port 25 for example. You might want to also check your apache
error logs, or your php error logs (if you have it enabled).

Yes, I did enable TLS support on port 25. But I used sendmail instead,
and the setup worked fine. The server does not support TLS yet. SMTP
without TLS on port 25 works fine, though.

Thanks,
Yasir

TLS requires dedicated port. SquirrelMail/PHP does not support
STARTTLS over a standard port. You can simply disable TLS and leave
the port as 25, and see if that works. Also check to see if your
SMTP server requires authorization if you are going with that
method.

The following applies to Postfix 2.1 & 2.2:

Don't use sendmail (in my case postfix.sendmail), use smtp

TLS requires dedicated port. SquirrelMail/PHP does not support
STARTTLS over a standard port. You can simply disable TLS and leave
the port as 25, and see if that works. Also check to see if your

Correction, SM (all versions) doesn't support STARTTLS at all. Because
PHP doesn't. What SM calls STARTTLS is actually smtps to port 465,
which is something completely different (because there's no STARTTLS
involved). Been using it (smtps) in production (1.5.1 CVS after 1.4.3a)
and all works - has always worked - beautifully, *after* help from this
list

Correction again ;) SM doesn't call that STARTTLS at all, and in no
way have we ever called it that. STARTTLS runs a TLS connection over a
standard port after an initial plain text connection. We've always
said (and it can be found all over the archives) that SM/PHP does not
support STARTTLS (at least not yet, maybe they'll get it in PHP some
day). I guess I should have just said "does not support STARTTLS"
without adding the "over a standard port" as that might add a little
confusion.

Always good to hear ;)
