Mail failing – Any ideas???

[addinall]

I included this product as part of a new project. It is hosted on a site that does not supply an outbound SMTP server, probably causing myself more bloody work than I need, so I set up the quform => settings to reflect the gmail settings.
The form is failing with “An error occurred”.

I turned on wp-debug and in the error log:


[25-Feb-2013 15:09:53 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'phpmailerException' with message 'SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host.' in /home/crosscit/public_html/wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php:912

Any ideas? Anyone seen this before? I have a vague feeling the Apache global .conf file may be screwing me around, but not having access to it, I dunno.

I stuck a .htaccess file in my wp document root which sed()

Options +Includes +ExecCGI Indexes FollowSymLinks
AddType text/html .shtml .shtm .htm .html
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml .shtm .htm .html cgi-script .cgi .pl

If you want to have a peek it is at

Hi Ally, nice code BTW.

Since I am still building this site, I stuck a well known mail address into the settings

Type: SMTP
host: smtp.gmail.com
port: 465
sec: SSL
user: addinall.mark@gmail.com
pass: *******

My IMAP engines work from this account and it has been running for a very long time!

It really does not look like your code at all, I was just wondering if anyone else had seen this?

Cheers,
MArk.

Thanks for that. I’ll pester the owners of the box.
