Cannot send registration email from localhost

[DavidCG]

This problem has just started for me - US is failing to send registration / password reminder emails so I cannot login. I'm running on a Win8.1 machine and get this message:

 

 

C:/localhost/core/msmtp/msmtp.exe: cannot get initial OK message from server
C:/localhost/core/msmtp/msmtp.exe: server message: 421 Cannot connect to SMTP server 67.215.65.132 (67.215.65.132:25), NB connect error 1460
C:/localhost/core/msmtp/msmtp.exe: could not send mail (account default from C:/localhost/core/msmtp/msmtprc.ini)
C:/localhost/core/msmtp/msmtp.exe: cannot get initial OK message from server
C:/localhost/core/msmtp/msmtp.exe: server message: 421 Cannot connect to SMTP server 67.215.65.132 (67.215.65.132:25), NB connect error 1460
C:/localhost/core/msmtp/msmtp.exe: could not send mail (account default from C:/localhost/core/msmtp/msmtprc.ini)

 

Any suggestions please?

I just realised I've not been clear. I'm trying to install http://get-simple.info/ which sends a registration email with password. It used to work but is now failing with about error messages.

The above error messages is consistent with incorrect configuration file UniServerZ\core\msmtp\msmtprc.ini.

Note: A default installation of Uniform Server 11_1_3_ZeroXI.exe the first example is incorrect:

# 1 === Your ISP account ========================

account MyISP
host smpt.tiscali.co.uk
from john.doe@tiscali.co.uk
auth off

 

Should read as follows:

# 1 === Your ISP account ========================

account MyISP
host smtp.tiscali.co.uk
from john.doe@tiscali.co.uk
auth off

 

The only difference is host smpt.tiscali.co.uk should be smtp.tiscali.co.uk you may have a similar issue in your configuration.
Replace “host” and “from” with your appropriate details.

I downloaded and installed GetSimpleCMS_3.3.1
Note :A default installation of Uniform Server matches all requirements for installing GetSimpleCMS.

All the best

Thanks, Ric. I've updated the msmtprc.ini file with my SMTP login details and it's now working.

 

I'm just puzzled why email has been delivered in the past without me needing to touch that file???
