Email sending crashes on a clean install

ondrej

Hi,

I have a clean install, did not modify the mail-sending components in any way, however, sending email always crushes on this:

if(!$rt) {
throw new phpmailerException($this->Lang('instantiate'), self::STOP_CRITICAL);
}

I haven't been able to find out what's causing the problem, but maybe somebody more experienced will know :-) What could be the cause?

What OS are you using?

Are you using an external SMTP server?

Thanks for the reply. CentOS 6.7, internal smtp. if I switch to external (and use correct authentication settings), it crashes on line 821 of class.phpmailer.php, which is the middle one of this:

if (!$connection) {
throw new phpmailerException($this->Lang('connect_host'), self::STOP_SERVER);
}

which is strange since the connections settings are definitely correct.

try examples here:

http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

check if firewall is blocking your port for the mail as well.

$rt = @mail($val, essentially $Subject, $body, $header, $params);
