Hello all,
I am attempting to get my Splunk VM to send email via SSL or TLS using the localhost settings. I want to use localhost because I do not have access to any mail relay (3rd party such as GMAIL, HOTMAIL, etc are out of the question). When I configure Splunk to use SSL/TLS and then I run a simple sendemail test ( `index=_audit | head 3 | sendemail to="me@me.com" use_ssl=true` / `index=_audit | head 3 | sendemail to="me@me.com" use_tls=true`) I get the following error:
`command="sendemail", [Errno 111] Connection refused while sending mail`
The actual intent of this is to successfully send email from localhost using SSL/TLS from a python script I've written as part of an app I'm submitting for approval to Splunk Cloud, which was denied because I was sending email without SSL. It works fine with non-SSL but it fails with localhost settings.
I feel like there may be something fundamental I'm missing.
