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. Regards, Kamo

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.

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)

The settings look right (not sure if IDHost does anything or not). So discarding that gmail servers might be down, maybe your server has a firewall blocking your outbound attempt?
