SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host.

Under Joomla Version 1.5.15 & ChronoForms version 3.0 i get error "SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host" when i try to send a mail.

These are message with debug opt enabled:

I know this is a problem due server configuration. The point im pretty lost. 😶
Could give some guidance in order to test or fix this problem?

Thanks

Hi ocupado,

You'll need to check with your web host or mail service provider to find the correct configurtion for the mail server. I'd expect that you would need to have a username and password for the SMTP server at least.

The message also suggests that you have no From Email set but it isn't clear if that is in the Mail Server configuration or in ChronoForms.

PS Both your Joomla! installation and your ChronoForms version are out of date.

I have tested SMTP via telnet and is running well.

telnet 127.0.0.1 25
HELO xxxxxx.net
MAIL FROM:< [email]cperez@xxxxxx.net[/email] >
RCPT TO:< [email]ocupado@hotmail.com[/email] >

In joomla i have tested all possible conf (PHP Mail Function, SendMail, SMTP Server) wkith no result.

You are right. I have to investigate with our ISP.

Thanks
