QuickSilver Errors
This page is a work in progress...If you encounter an error you believe should be added here, please let me know.
Stats Updates
- Timeout
The server is offline, of course. Best advice, try again later.
- FAILED ERROR CHECK
It's usually a pretty simple cause if one or, more likely, all pages updated from your stats source fail error checks. You can see on the status tab which pages failed. To the right of the status tab itself, you'll find a tab for each of the pages downloaded. Click the tab of a failed page. Look at the damn thing! I express frustration because this is something people frequently don't do. Look at the page and see if you can spot any problems. Your quickest solution may be to change stats sources.
Sending Mail
- Winsock Error 10061: connection refused
The server is refusing your connection. You've got the wrong server or port. You've got to be exact.
- Winsock Error 10060: connection timed out
Either the server is down or you have the wrong server or port.
- Error: connection closed immediately
This is not a mail server. It doesn't handle mail at all. Sometimes these will not close the connection but instead, just timeout.
- Error: cannot relay message
This is a mail server you don't have permission to use. It's refusing to handle it. If you're sure you have the host correct, possibly you need a different port. However, you probably have the wrong server. It's too common a mistake. If it's the same server as in your regular email program, put it in QS exactly as it is in that program.
Mixmaster
- No Reliable Remailers!
There's a problem with your stats reports. Most often this is caused by your stats source going offline shortly and then, when back online, have very low quality stats for a day or three while it builds a new history of reliability info. Look at mlist.txt. It probably has very few remailers listed with 100% uptime. If they're all low 90s or less, that's your problem. The best solution is to change stats sources at least temporarily until you usual source is back in good health.
