Ibai Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Hi there,I am trying to get this solved from the Client Support but unfortunately they are not giving me any help.Is there anyone having trouble with outgoing email from the forum through SMTP in 4.0.11? I am not able to make it work, it not working. However, configuration is correct.I have tried a small script with phpmailer with the same settings and it works. Furthermore, this was working in 3.4.x.Anyone with issues? How can I solve this?Regards,Ibai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibai Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 I already tried SSL with the same result When settings seems correct, it returns A test email could not be sent. Check the settings entered are correct or contact your hosting or SMTP provider for more information. 250 domain.net Hello domain.net [123.123.31.196] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibai Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 Okay, from support tickets finally understood that something was not working well and told me that it would need further investigation. I will update this topic with the final conclusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am considering swapping from php mail to my Google Apps account instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevengeFNF Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 @NoGi You need also to authenticate your server in Google.

NoGi Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Before I go and change, what's the benefit of using SMTP over PHP? Is it less likely to cause emails to end up in a spam folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevengeFNF Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 For Gmail, you need to use SMTP or it will go to the Junk Folder, because it can't confirm you are the owner of that email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoGi Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 No sorry, my question was more around why would we choose SMTP over php mail? Is it performance related or something else like less chance of outgoing being flagged as spam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevengeFNF Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 You now use gmail with php mail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AutoItScript Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 If you are running SMTP from the same host as the board then using SMTP means that all the usual SMTP tags get appended. Domain keys signing etc which helps mails to not get rejected. When I used phpmail couldn't get it to add those kinds of headers in my hosting setup. Easiest thing is to set it both ways and send yourself a test email and examine the headers. Pick the one that works the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevengeFNF Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 You can test that with this site: https://www.mail-tester.com/For example the email of my site have a 9/10 score, which is very good. I only don't have 10/10, because out of 25 blacklist emails, one of them have my email listed as spam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoGi Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Thanks for that link. I get 9/10 from php mail according to that site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
