[ossec-list] Re: SMTP server in socket

[Jonas <jonas.esp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had configured so, with 'localhost' but it fails.
= ossec.log =
2007/08/08 18:47:27 ossec-maild(1223): Error Sending email to
127.0.0.1 (smtp server)

And to checking that my SMTP server is listening on localhost, I sent
a mail to a user in localhost --mail [user]@localhost-- and it was
sent correctly. So OSSEC only can use a SMTP listening on a port.
