Error message/code:
SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host
Description:
Script can't connect to SMTP server
Solution:
1. Make sure SMTP credential are correct.
2. If you on Linux check to see if SELinux is preventing the connection
[root@webserver ~]# sestatus -b | grep sendmail
If the result is httpd_can_sendmail off ... SELinux is preventing the connection. Allow it by:
setsebool httpd_can_sendmail=1
...and check again to make sure the change was applied:
[root@webserver ~]# sestatus -b | grep sendmail
The result should be
httpd_can_sendmail on
Restart Apache
