[FX.php List] Mail-sending problem isolated to one web server

[Leo R. Lundgren]

As far as I know, that has nothing to do with your PHP script, unless you have some very specific configuration. The Timbuktu thingie is tried to be started by launchd, which is not PHP in any way.

I'm not sure which script you are referring to, or more specifically how it tries to send mail. But if you try to use Swiftmailer or some other similar library, which simply tries to connect using TCP/IP, the symptoms as far as I know are that the server cannot connect to the SMTP server.

In summary, I don't think that any of the things you mentioned in your last mail are relevant to the actual problem/cause of it, sorry. I'm open to being corrected of course.

Regards, Leo
