Can't get logging via email working on ASA5510

[handsy]

Prudent config I have on there:

logging enable

logging mail errors

logging from-address x@y.com

logging recipient-address a@b.com level errors

smtp-server 10.1.1.1

So far no emails are getting to me. I've run 'debug smtp-client' and all I get is "lookup_and_connect: Socket connect failed for primary host 10.1.1.1".

My colleague on the mail relay server says he is seeing nothing at all :(

I've turned off 'inspect esmtp' and that didn't help either.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Can you ping 10.1.1.1? Is 10.1.1.1 a local subnet, across a tunnel, or somewhere else on the network?

HTH,

John

Yes I can ping it fine. I have IP connectivity. The email syslogging is just not leaving the ASA :(

Anyone else able to help? This is driving me nuts :(

All sorted! It was my mail relay server that was the problem not my ASA config :)

I pointed to a different one et voila.
