Some Mail Options Do Not Work

[Alex]

Hey guys,

 

I am fairly confident stating that using SMTP w/ SSL on port 465 does not work with Blesta. I am able to get piping and SMTP w/ TLS on 587 working fine but I have tried 4 separate e-mail providers using SMTP w/ SSL on port 465 that I can verify work with the same settings on other clients but it never works with Blesta.

 

Specifically, I get the same error in the Blesta logs for all providers:

 

Connection could not be established with host sub.domain.tld [Connection timed out #110]

 

(Don't ask if I actually put that host in our config. Just using it as an example/placeholder for the various providers I have used for testing.)

 

Thanks,

Alex

Moved to support forums since we're using SMTP with SSL on port 465 and it works fine.

 

Are you sure you're not running TLS on port 465, or perhaps no security?

 

When you say you're using SMTP with TLS on port 587, is this is the same mail server?

 

Do these settings work for sending mail?

I would double check that port 465 egress is not being blocked at the firewall.
