Hi all,
This is a rather strange one. I'm using Mandrill as my SMTP server for my outbound mails sent from the site, but somehow it only works when I test it locally; that is on my developement computer. When I take the site to the hosting environment and try to send a test message using Formit, I get the following error:
Send Failed
Mailer error info: SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host.
Server Debug Information:
Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to ssl://smtp.mandrillapp.com:465 (Connection timed out) in /hsphere/local/home/mydomain.com/core/model/modx/mail/phpmailer/class.smtp.php on line 122
SMTP -> ERROR: Failed to connect to server: Connection timed out (110)
I've used BobRay's QuickEmail Snippet and it also fails to send mail.
I can swear that I'm using the same settings that I use in development environment; but it's just not working.
I'm in desperate need of help as the site should be operation before 5:00 AM EST.
Is there anything I'm missing?
