Have you seen this, thread: <a href=“https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/smtp-timeout”>SMTP timeout</a>?
I did. There’s Posfix/Devecot running on the system. Attempts to send emails by system scripts are returning errors, like: <br> <br>ossec-maild(1223): ERROR: Error Sending email to 5.77.x.y (smtp server) 2013/12/23 15:29:52 os_sendmail(1765): WARN: RCPT TO not accepted by server - ‘me@site.com’. <br> <br>Any clues?
Install a mail server. <i>See</i> <a href=“https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-the-send-only-mail-server-exim-on-ubuntu-12-04”>How To Install the Send-Only Mail Server “Exim” on Ubuntu 12.04</a>.
