Hi, I am sorry I am not an expert on e-mail issues,
but just recently I've been unable to send any messages
from my site's squirrelmail??
this is the error message

Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to localhost:25 in /var/www/html/squirrelmail-1.4.2/class/deliver/Deliver_SMTP.class.php on line 40
Connection refused: server replied:111

Is there anything a novice like me can do to fix this
problem, and what exactly is happening here?? it worked fine
yesterday??? thank you in advance :)

I can also be reached at: billyblackwood@hotmail.com

Make sure you mail server is running. That error normally happens when SquirrelMail is unable to connect to your IMAP server.

How do I test to see if the mail server is running?
thanks :)

In admin you can check status. The easiest way is to use a normal mail client and try to connect via IMAP.
