So here is one of those issues that I really hate.....

Appreciate anyones time if you can help.

I have a php script setup to send a blank email through my mail server. The script is called send_alert.php

When I run in from the CLI like so:

php send_alert.php

The email sends fine.

However when I try to browse to the send_alert.php file i get the following:

Failed to connect to mail.mailserver.ie:25 [SMTP: Failed to connect socket: Permission denied (code: -1, response: )]

I have confirmed that I can Telnet to port 25 on my mail server and it works fine from command line. Anyone else had this?

Regards,

Johnny
 
Sounds like the user as which the webserver runs doesn't have the right permissions to access the mail server.
