Email Failure advice

[Eupolemos]

As the title suggest, I'm having trouble setting up my Email. But before I make a ticket, I thought I'd try here.

I've tried using both my original gmail and my new google apps account for my domain.

When I try PHP I get the error "email could not be sent" - when I try SMTP I get "Connection refused".

If I disable my firewall I get the same result.

Any advice or ideas for troubleshooting?

I'm sorry, I should have come back and mentioned that I made it work for my google apps for work email.

Mail delivery method: SMTP

SMTP Host: smtp.gmail.com

SMTP Protocol: SSL

SMTP Port: 465

SMTP Username: my email address

SMTP Password: my email password

 

The main difficulty was getting google to play along; I needed to find a way to make it accept IPS4 as a less secure app. https://support.google.com/a/answer/6260879?hl=en

It was a bit difficult and it's been a while, so I can't remember exactly what I did. But as I remember it, I needed to somehow unlock the ability to accept less secure apps.

 

Feel free to ask again if you're completely stuck, I'll see if I can jog my memory then.

Oh, I've just got it to work:

Mail delivery method: SMTP

SMTP Host: tls://smtp.gmail.com

standard/plaintext

465

user@gmail.com

password

 

There were some security settings to do too.

thank you for the feedback

Fixed mine basically the same way using an email setting from my cpanel.

Mail delivery method:   SMTP

SMTP Host:   mail.mydomain.com

SMTP Protocol:    Standard / Plaintext

SMTP Port:    25

SMTP Username:    webmaster@mydomain.com

SMTP Password:    mysmtppassword

And all is working perfect.
