SMTP Not working.

[larz]

Hello, I've been trying all day to get WHMCS to send emails through my Email account.

That's how it is currently setup.

 

I'm using google apps to create my own Email account through the domain.

 

When I try to send an email through the WHMCS panel, It takes about 2 minutes, then I get an error message saying: Email Sending Failed - Language string failed to load: tls

 

I've been googling this problem all day, and I can see that I'm not the only one who have had this problem. But, all those threads about this problem are from 2007-2008-2009, so none of the fixes they have posted actually fixes the problem.

 

I've made sure to allow port 857 both inbounding and outbounding through the firewall.

 

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

 

This indicates that TLS support is not available through the Google SMTP server. Try switching to 'SSL'

The "Language string failed to load" error simply indicates that there isn't a human-readable error message transcribed within the class; "tls", being one of them.

I have no issues with this myself, I've switched over to Amazon SES today. However, have been using the Google Apps account up to now though; without issue.

 

Did you previously have this working before or is this your first time trying to configure it? This could be an issue with the PHP mailer class itself rather than the SMTP authentication. As you said there's a 2 minute delay, it could possibly be resolved by increasing the connect timeout within the class; depending, what the root cause really is. Also, ensure that you have OpenSSL installed correctly.

Gmail SMTP only works with TLS.

Hey James, Thank you for taking your time to reply.

 

I've never encountered this problem before, nor have I ever done this before, this is the first time I'm doing this.

I've also encountered that phpmail is not working either. It tells me the message has been sent, but it's not actually sent.

Could this problem be the cause of SMTP not working?

PHP can work without SMTP, and also vice versa SMTP without PHP Mail.

 

You could have some PHP setting configured wrong though. Like JS-James stated.

 

Hope this helps some.
