MailScanner Lint Error

[Paul Scott]

Hello Peter,

Thank you very much for your email!

I tried your suggestion, and this is what came back:

[root at fs9 MailWatch-1.2.10]# telnet localhost 3306
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
J
5.5.55;xm:wi*€]];O[Z57Rv!9mysql_native_passwordConnection closed by foreign host.
[root at fs9 MailWatch-1.2.10]#

So, I do get connected via the localhost address, BUT...if I try the server's actual IP address, this is what I get:

[root at fs9 MailWatch-1.2.10]# telnet 10.1.252.245 3306
Trying 10.1.252.245...
Connected to 10.1.252.245.
Escape character is '^]'.
THost 'edenusa-fs9.edenhosting.net' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL serverConnection closed by foreign host.
[root at fs9 MailWatch-1.2.10]#

So maybe that's the issue?

Sincerely,

What happens if you run "telnet localhost 3306"?  Do you see

Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

I don't use MailWatch, but does it connect to MySQL via a socket 
(typically /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock) or via TCP on port 3306?

Peter
