I would like to route all outgoing external mails via an external SMTP provider, in this case, Mailgun is my provider.
I have fiddled around with Org -> Hub -> Send connectors without any luck, the mails keep getting stuck and will only work if I use my standard send-connector.
Any ideas?
PS: If im in the right area, where and how can i debug the Send connector ? eventvwr isnt telling me much
Thanks in advance
I messed up the credentials. cy#

Please excuse newbie language because i am exactly that.
I am hosting myDomain.com on GoDaddy (registered in Asia)
I have deployed a phpScript for which i originally had a frustrating time validating credentials but finally succeeded thanks to the help of the forums here. (NB my SMTP Host was smtpout.asia.secureserver.net and SMTP Port =80 - none of the other ports would work)
I have now setup a subdomain on GoDaddy mailgun.myDomain.com and have verified this on Mailgun. creating a simple info#mailgun.myDomain.com i also succeeded in applying the necessary MailGun SMTP credentials to a Gmail account such that i can be managed from there - sending and receiving not a problem.
However, i am now unable to apply those same SMTP credentials via PHPMailer. THis has been discussed many times i know - and i've read through as best i can but have had little success finding a solution. I came across a recent reply from Synchro
https://stackoverflow.com/a/42291223/7802270
"Build your message as you would normally in PHPMailer, then call preSend() and getSentMIMEMessage() instead of send()."
Can i assume this is with reference to the class.phpmailer.php file?
And if so - i'm not sure i'm reading his comment correctly but do i then replace all instances of send() with getSentMIMEMessage()? or preSend()? It can't be both...
Thank you in advance for any clarifications
I have already gone through multiple links before posting and it is not a repeat question.I am not pretty sure that i should post it here or on server fault.
I am trying to configure the SMTP email task but running into error mentioned below.
System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server
System.Net.Sockets.SocketException:An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions ipaddress:25
I also tried to verify using powershell, if the SMTP is fine and below are the results:
Using Send-mailmessage : It is working really fine
Using Net.Mail.SmtpClient : I could send email to organization email ids but not outside.
Can someone help me understand where exactly the problem could be.
The problem was Antivirus was blocking the requests from SSIS but was allowing the powershell requests.
I have a project uploaded on google cloud and on that project whenever some one registers he gets an email saying "welcome".
When this project was hosted on a web server(not google cloud server) it was working fine and emails would go on registration.
But since the project has been moved to google cloud the email services have stopped.All the other functionalities are working fine.
IS there something iam missing out ,or does google want us to get a email domain from google.
coding language- cake php
database - Mysql
I have already unblocked ports 25,587,465 ,but that also did not resolve the issue
Please advise and help.
I think you may have to use SendGrid to use other email than gmail.
As describe in this document:
https://developers.google.com/compute/docs/sending-mail
There are examples listed there as well.
I deployed a relay outside of GCE and configured it to listen on TCP/588 (non standard SMTP port) and then configured all of my GCE instances to relay to that host over TCP/588. That's been working great for months now.
I've been asked to change all of our current Joomla sites from using PHP Mail to SMTP.
The background: we were recently compromised through a vulnerable component on one of our sites. We have a dedicated server, running CPanel. The hack involved a file being uploaded to one account, which had a file manager (with access to /home, ie. all other accounts). From there, another file was uploaded that began sending emails - not enough to catch with ease, but eventually enough to get our main server IP blacklisted. Because the main IP was blacklisted, many of our other sites (for which we also host email) were also blacklisted.
My argument (your comments/ideas on this are much appreciated!)
Changing to SMTP will not solve this instance
It would solve the issue of any vulnerable components where an email can be sent via a request spoof (ie. option=com_users?task=email&..., or something similar to that)
Because the hacker has access to the files in the account, they also have access to the configuration.php file, which holds the SMTP password in plain text. Access to this means they would also have access to the SMTP server.
The SMTP that we would be using is localhost, which doesn't solve the issue of our IP being blacklisted.
My first idea was to provision/setup SMTP on a separate IP (or server), but that can still be blacklisted if a site gets hacked.
The second idea was to provision each site a unique IP, so no one site can get the rest blacklisted.
So I'm a bit lost. Before we tackle the task of setting the mailing function to SMTP, testing each site (there's roughly 70, with varying components to test) I'd like to have a better idea of what's the best route, if any.
It seems that either setting in Joomla is insecure in the event of a compromised site, no?
Find where your server is blacklisted, and apply to be removed. Note: if any of the sites require payment to be de-listed, ignore them. [eg: SORBS] Nobody cares about extortionists, trust me. I was admin for several busy mail servers for the last few years.
If you're completely switching from PHP-based mail() on all sites, then disable the mail agent on the server. mail() simply submits to the MTA running on the server [usually Sendmail or Postfix] and if your server is compromised again they will still be able to spam out.
Yes, your SMTP credentials will be stored in a config file somewhere, but most instances the intruder won't even bother to look for them. They simply drop in a basic PHP script that calls mail() and that's it.
If mail service is at all important to you you should always monitor:
The reputation of your outbound server.
The abuse mail for your domain. It will either be coming to abuse#yourdomain.com, or the abuse# contact for whoever owns the IP address block.
I have a server with Plesk installed.
On that I've created a domain, my-domain.com, and added and e-mail account noreply#my-domain.com with access to SMTP for sending e-mails.
With PHPMailer or Swift Mailer I am able to send via the SMTP account noreply#my-domain.com whenever the from address is outside the my-domain.com, for example info#my-second-domain.com.
Whenever I'm using an e-mail address that ends on #my-domain.com it fails.
I've tried to look in the /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog file, but it only stores the mails that doesn't fail.
Can someone help me figure out where the problems is?
You can try this:
Delete the related domain in the qmail file /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains
Then reload/restart qmail. Now it should work.

Benjamin answer didn't work on my installation (Plesk 11.5), but I found another solution:
just turn off the mail service itself. It might not be the solution for everyone but it was for me (my domain's mx records pointing to another server, with some scripts sending emails here and there).
You can turn off the mail service fairly easily using Plesk GUI.
Then uncheck
However, this won't turn it off for subdomains and secondary domains you might have. No problem, just log in with ssh and run this command:
/usr/local/psa/bin/domain -u mydomain.example.com -mail_service false
And if one day you decide you want to turn it back on just replace false by true.
