"Connection Closed Gracefully" error when testing alerts.


Question

When I test an email alert, I get a "Connection Closed Gracefully" error. What's the fix?

Solution

This is probably related to your virus scanner (we've seen it with Norton Antivirus, for example). You might have your virus scanner set up to watch port 25, and for some reason it's disconnecting the conversation between PingPlotter and the SMTP server.

There are a few possible solutions:

We've also occasionally seen this error when the SMTP server was having issues (being rebooted, shut down, or other similar problems), so if it normally works, then try again later.
