smtp error

sunman4008 09 Aug, 2010
Hello,

I have setup smtp in joomla like my outlook email with the following setup but I still get smtp error. What am I doing wrong? I have tried everything but nothing seems to work. It works in outlook with these settings.

mailer: smtp server
mail from: [email]info@eiicapital.com[/email]
from name: [email]info@eiicapital.com[/email]
sendmail path: /usr/sbin/sendmail
smtp authentication: yes
smtp security: ssl
smtp port: 465
smtp username: [email]info@eiicapital.com[/email]
smtp host: mail.eiicapital.com

Hi sunman4008 ,

Looks OK assuming that there is a password too. Check with whoever runs the SMTP server for the correct settings.

Hello,

I did but still nothing. I use the same settings from my Outlook 2007 which is working. Also, I have tried both TLS and SSL.

I am clueless on what I can try next? I have a support ticket to aplus.net who hosts everything for me but it will take them awhile and then they may says it is a joomla issue which they don't help with........

Hi sunman4008,

Sorry, nothing much else to suggest. SMTP usually 'just works'.

You could try the Gmail server if you have an gmail account.
