SMTP mail

[hossack]

Over the past few days, the SMTP mail function on the site has stopped working. I've checked using an external mail client that the SMTP mail functions on the server are running correctly, but when I enable the option within the Admin Control panel, no joy.

Could anyone suggest a solution or where to start looking to find the problem?

Thanks,

Hossack

Turn on the SMTP function and test it via the email daignostics.

Hi,

I've tested it via the email diagnostics, it is coming up with error messages related to line 519 of class_mail.php

I don't understand why it has suddenly stopped working as it has run perfectly well since October of last year, none of the settings have been changed and although the site has been heavily modified, these modifications were completed over 2 months ago.

I've double checked again with the server and the smtp mail is working without a problem. Is it possible that a file has become corrupt on the server that is causing the problems?

Thanks,

Hossack

Well whats the error message and we can help

This has to be a server issue. Have you contacted your host?

Also saying an error message was shown isn't very descriptive.

What was the error message?

I am too having the issue.....here is the error message I am getting through diagnostics. I am runnin vb 3.5.4 and have made no changes or adding plugins:

The mailing function returned an error while trying to send the mail.The following errors were outputted by PHP when attempting to send mail:


Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to **removed** (A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. ) in **removed** includes\class_mail.php on line 536

Warning: Unable to connect to SMTP server in **removed** \includes\class_mail.php on line 519

My email is working on all other applications.

Thanks in advance for any help on this.

They seem pretty descriptive, the IP address or host within the admin cp is incorrect.

It took several variations but I had incorrectly chose the secure email setting in admin cp. I turned it off and it all worked.
