SMTP will not work

[ruben]

I'm getting this error message when I do the "Test Mail Settings" of a new set up.  I've checked and tried everything I could think of....

Could this be possibly the host is not allowing SMTP sendings from a web script, like you suggested???


[SMTP Server]
Is enabled?  Yes
Connecting to SMTP server..
Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to localhost:25 in /home/toptipsf/public_html/mail/editconf.php on line 1907
Could not find server!

The SMTP server is not configured correctly. Check your settings.

Yes, it could be this or, if email is not running on the web server, you may need to set a different SMTP "host" such as "mail.example.com" with example.com being your domain.
