无法使用phpmailer发送电子邮件-smtp.com

Question

I cannot send emails using the smtp server we use.

EDIT: At first I was getting the error getaddrinfo failed: name or service not known, but that has been fixed. But I am still getting the errors below.

Server: send.smtp.com
Port: 25
Use encrypted protocol: No
Authentication: requires username/password 

Things I have tried:

• verified settings with support people at smtp.com
• Tried different ports (80, 2525)
• Temporarily disabled my firewall on the machine running my apache server (RHEL 7)
• Using the IP address as for the server address

When I try to send a test email I get:

I was able to telnet:

# telnet send.smtp.com 25
Trying 192.40.165.68
Connected to send.smtp.com
Escape character is '^]'

Edit: Saw this in /var/log/maillog

This is the PHP script I am using:

<?php
require("src/PHPMailer.php");
require("src/SMTP.php");
require("src/Exception.php");
$mail = new PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->Host = "send.smtp.com"; 
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; 
$mail->Username = "webmaster@domain.com"; 
$mail->Password = "pwd";
$mail->Port = "25";
$mail->From = "notification@domain.com"; 
$mail->FromName = "Company"; 
$mail->AddAddress("allisonc@domain.com", "Me"); 
$mail->AddReplyTo("notification@domain.com", "Company"); 
$mail->WordWrap = 50; 
$mail->IsHTML(false); 
$mail->Subject = "SMTP.com Test";
$mail->Body = "SMTP.com Test Message!";
$mail->Timeout = 30;
$mail->SMTPDebug = 4;
$mail->SMTPSecure = FALSE;
$mail->SMTPAutoTLS = FALSE;
if(!$mail->Send())
{
 echo "Message could not be sent. <p>";
 echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
 var_dump($mail);
 //exit;
}
else
{
  echo "Message has been sent";
}


echo "<hr>";

$success = mail('allisonc@domain.com', 'Test Mail function', 'Test Mail function');
if (!$success) {
  echo "mail failed";
    $errorMessage = error_get_last()['message'];
    var_dump($errorMessage);
}
var_dump($success);

Please let me know if you need additional information/tests.

Answer 1

The end result was that smtp.com was blocking our IP address.

(I had asked them about this a couple days ago and they denied that, but today they realized they were.)
