It looks like your ISP is blocking outbound SMTP. How to diagnose this is covered in the troubleshooting guide linked from the error message.
I can get to your host on that port, so it's definitely an issue with your network, not your code. You should ask your ISP or read their support docs about how they want you to send email.

I can't connect watcher to openstack

I have the following scenario:
server: Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS
openstack installed with devstack
watcher 2.2.0
Every services seem to be working and i can see the watcher dashboard on localhost.
But I think I have an auth problem between watcher and keystone :
Error contacting Watcher server: Unable to establish connection
to http://x.x.x.x:9322/v1/services: HTTPConnectionPool(host='x.x.x.x', port=9322):
Max retries exceeded with url: /v1/services (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.
HTTP Connection object at 0x7fba33b1be50>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111] Connexion refusée')).
Attempt 6 of 6
I'm testing something on a VM, I put the same IP and the same password everywhere
Where should I look first ?

sshd connection issue: Connection reset by [ip] port x [preauth]

I'm seeing the following error messages when trying to sftp from a windows client to my redhat server:

I'm positive that all ports open in firewall, and authorized_keys are setup up correctly.
So i stop the sshd service, and run from cmd line with -ddd hoping to get more information.
However when running in debug mode, the connection succeeds !?!?
/user/sbin/sshd -D -ddd
Client:
C:\Users\Administrator\.ssh>sftp -P 7822 user#x.x.x.x
Connected to user#x.x.x.x.
sftp> exit
Any ideas what could be happening? (Note this is 100% reproducible, fails every time when sshd is run normally, and succeeds always when run with -ddd)
So looks like the problem was due to a missing .bash_profile in the user home dir on the server.
After adding the user profile back, it seems to resolve the issue.
Why sshd didn't care it was missing when run in debug mode seems like a bug in sshd.
I was also getting the Connection reset by [ip] port x [preauth] message.
For me, however, it was a firewall issue on the client side. The IT department had blocked SSH outside the network. After updating the firewall, the connection worked.

phpmailer network is unreachable

Some of the times trying to send email through php web application I'm getting "smtp connection failed", and some other times it works perfectly without throwing any exceptions.
The app is under the same configuration as always ( "smtp.gmail.com", port: 587, protocol: TLS ). I beleive that the error it's triggered by a timeout as the gmail server does not response. I've noticed this irregular behaviour since last week or so. Any clues?
This is the response with "SMTPDebug = 3" enabled:
2017-02-02 16:19:36 Connection: opening to smtp.gmail.com:587, timeout=300, options=array (
)
2017-02-02 16:20:18 SMTP ERROR: Failed to connect to server: Network is unreachable (101)

)
2017-02-02 16:21:02 SMTP ERROR: Failed to connect to server: Network is unreachable (101)
I've also tried adding "tls://" to the host address smtp.gmail.com, as suggested in other tread with no success...
thanks in advance

Digital Ocean and GMAIL smtp server give error

I am using Symfony2 on Digital Ocean Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.2.0-24-virtual i686).
Everything is working on my localhost, but do not work on Digital Ocean Server,
Here is error message when I try to register user in my web with Activation Email enabled :
Connection could not be established with host smtp.gmail.com [Connection timed out #110]
500 Internal Server Error - Swift_TransportException
and error stacktrace :
$this->_stream = #stream_socket_client($host.':'.$this->_params['port'], $errno, $errstr, $timeout, STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT, stream_context_create($options));
if (false === $this->_stream) {
throw new Swift_TransportException(
'Connection could not be established with host '.$this->_params['host'].
' ['.$errstr.' #'.$errno.']'
);
Output from server terminal :
yusuf#xwzxc:~$ telnet smtp.gmail.com 465
Trying 74.125.130.108...
Trying 74.125.130.109...
Trying 2404:6800:4003:c01::6c...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Network is unreachable
any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
In order to curb spam and abuse, some new user accounts at DigitalOcean have their SMTP ports blocked by default. Unfortunately there are sometimes false positives. It sounds like this might have been the case for you. If you open a support ticket, the team would be happy to remove that block for you
As a temporary solution I have changed the smtp.gmail.com by the IP
You can get the IP by: ping smtp.gmail.com on the command line.
