Hello,
I am making a bilingual, Hebrew-English website with WordPress and Wcolor theme, if this is in some way relevant.
I have installed your Newsletter plugin. It seems brilliant – until the moment of sending.
Can’t seem to send via external SMTP, using Google Apps, Gmail.
Let me describe the problem and what I have done to test it.
1. Made diagnostic test. WordPress is sending fine.
2. Tried different addresses, including those not in Google apps but just Gmail.
3. Disabled Newsletter plugin and installed Easy WP SMTP. Configured – test mail is sent and delivered fine.
4. Tried to not include sender name and mail – not working.
5. Tried TLS and SSL with their corresponding ports – both fail equally. (On my Outlook the working combination is TLS/587).
6. Read just about everything I found on the web on the error – found no solution but the ports’ setup, which I have learned already.
7. Due to the other plugin sending fine, this does not appear to be a problem with my hosting.
8. The error received is always the same:
“SMTP -> ERROR: Failed to connect to server: Connection timed out (110)”
Can you help me? I am at my wits’ end with this thing!
Thank you,
Vera
