PHPMailer not working with Firewall

[mehargags]

On one of My Debian 7 installs, I'm not able to send mails through PHPMailer which sends mails via Google SMTP (regardless of EXIM on server)

If I stop Firewall -- it sends through but not when Firewall is active.

I have ACCEPT for 993,465,25,587 in the Rules.... anything ?

iptables -L

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/iptables-persistent restart

?

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/iptables-persistent restart

?

isn't that a CentOS command ? I'm on Debian7

Code: Select all

ah@2yg:~$ /etc/init.d/iptables-persistent restart
-bash: /etc/init.d/iptables-persistent: No such file or directory

[skurudo]

iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT
iptables save

[mehargags]

doesn't help.

I think IP Tables are screwed.

I tested on CentOS with Firewall enabled, it works -

I think Vesta's Scripts do not configure Firewall properly on Debian systems.

Try to flush iptables and make you own rules

[mikho]

put the rules in the custom.sh file and restart the firewall using vesta commands.
Should work.
