smtp on vagrant box, connection times out

  • 772

I have a vagrant box running ubuntu 11.10 and a PHP script that uses swiftmailer to send email. My mail provider is SES, although I've replicated the issue with Mailgun and sendgrid as well.

My issue is that when I attempt to send mail on the vagrantbox I get "Connection to tcp://email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com:465 Timed Out". However when I run the exact same script from the host machine, it works fine.

Here's ifconfig on my vagrant box:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 08:00:27:6e:cd:85

          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
          RX packets:181 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

eth1 is a host only network interface with a static ip.

UPDATE: This appears to be a problem with swiftmailer. I had different copies of it between my host and guest boxes. I updated my host box, and now I'm getting the same issue where the connection times out.

  1. check whether port is accessible from virtual host and if not, make it accessible using port forwarding or open port in firewall.
