Describe what you would like us to do:

I've been sending the Orphaned Packages Process announcements using "goorphans o announce" with the following configuration for some time. The last report was sent successfully on December 5th.

[smtp]
from = 'Packaging Reports <packaging-reports@fedoraproject.org>'
secure = "starttls"
host = "smtp-auth-cc-rdu01.fedoraproject.org"
port = 587
password-cmd = REDACTED
username = "packaging-reports@fedoraproject.org"
insecure-skip-verify = true

It now fails with the following error when attempting to send the mail:

Error: dial tcp 38.145.32.44:587: connect: connection refused

When do you need this to be done by? (YYYY/MM/DD)

Week of 2026-01-05. The Orphaned Packages Process was on hiatus due to $HOLIDAYS, so I'd like to get the next report out ASAP.

Can you try using port 25?

I think perhaps I didn't have them nat 587 in. ;(

Thanks for taking a look :). Now I get a different error:

Error: dial tcp 38.145.32.44:25: connect: connection timed out

ok, can you switch back to 587 and see if that works now?

It works now. Thanks!
