Bounce processing - Cannot create POP3 connection to {localhost:110/pop3/notls}INBOX: Connection failed to localhost,110: Connection refused

1

Hello,

I just made a new installation of PHPlist and when I click on “Process Bounces” I get this message
“Cannot create POP3 connection to {localhost:110/pop3/notls}INBOX: Connection failed to localhost,110: Connection refused”

Settings in config.php seem to be ok as follows:

$message_envelope = ‘bounces@example.com’;
$bounce_protocol = ‘pop’;
define(‘MANUALLY_PROCESS_BOUNCES’, 1);
$bounce_mailbox_host = ‘pop3.example.com’;
$bounce_mailbox_user = ‘bounces@example.com’;
$bounce_mailbox_password = ‘password’;
$bounce_mailbox_port = “995/pop3/ssl/novalidate-cert”;
$bounce_mailbox_purge = 1;
$bounce_mailbox_purge_unprocessed = 1;
$bounce_unsubscribe_threshold = 5;
define(‘REPORT_DELETED_BOUNCES’, 0);
$bounce_mailbox_name = ‘INBOX’;
$bounce_mailbox_maximum = 100000;
$bounce_rules_batch_size = 500;

On my previous installation everything worked fine.

Any ideas?

Just realised that my database_host is not localhost but something else. Is it possible that this is the problem?

How can I change localhost in the settings for bounce?

Any help would be much appreciated

@bill The config.php settings that you showed in the original post don’t match the error message.

Just checked it again. These are the settings and this is the message I get

Presumably this does have the real POP server address.

You might be looking at the wrong file, it is config.php not config_extended.php, or have repeated the settings with different values.

Thank you very much for your response and your help.
POP server adress was correct and I was looking the config.php file. But bounce settings were copied also at the end of the file .

Problem solved.

Thank you very much
