Hi Tim,
Well explained, bells to you!!!
I'm trying to send mail using gmail server, with the code:
$wgSMTP = array(
'host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
'IDHost' => 'mywiki.com',
'port' => 465,
'username' => 'gmail_username',
'password' => 'gmail_password',
'auth' => true
);
I have OpenSSL Support & cURL Support enabled (reflected in the phpinfo()).
I initially thought that I was knocking at the wrong door but now I think that although I
might be at the right door - I'm not invited to the party. How do I get the invite?
The new error mesage I get is:
SMTP -> ERROR: Failed to connect to server: No connection could be made because the
target machine actively refused it. (10061)
THANK YOU

Hi All,
What does the error below mean:
SMTP -> ERROR: Failed to connect to server: A connection attempt
failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a
period of time, or established connection failed because connected
host has failed to respond. (10060) SMTP Error: Could not connect
to SMTP host.
I googled with no luck, any help is appreciated.
It could mean either that the mail server you're trying to use is down
or can't be contacted, or that you're trying to use the wrong address
for it.
It's like if you're invited to a friend's house, and you go there and
knock on the door, but nobody answers. Either you've got the wrong
address and you're knocking on some random person's door who happens
to be out, or something has happened to your friend which stopped them
from answering. It's hard to know what's going on just from the fact
that there was no answer.
