Joomla! Discussion Forums

I have looked through all of the forum postings, found several that are related to this topic but I cant find anything that seems to work. 

I registered a test user, but do not recieve an verification email.  When I go ahead and try to login with the test user, I get this message, and I never receive an email.

Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to smtpout.secureserver.net:25 in /home/content/m/r/o/mroach003a/html/includes/phpmailer/class.smtp.php on line 105

Mailer:  SMTP Server 
Mail From:  "put my email address here"
From Name:  "web site address"
Sendmail Path:  "blank"
SMTP Auth:  Yes 
SMTP User:  "name@domain.com" as instructed
SMTP Pass:  "password"
SMTP Host:  smtpout.secureserver.net "per instructions in forums posts and godaddy

I have a site using dotnetnuke that I am trying to replace.  On that site, I have the same SMTP mail relay settings and it works.  The only difference is it asks for the type of AUTHENTICATION (anonymous, basic, or NTLM).

One thought I had was, in the error message "smtpout.secureserver.net:25", does the :25 refer to port 25?  Godaddy instructions for SMTP relay specify port 80 or 3535.  I don't see where I can configure this?

Anyone have any suggestions or have experience with this?

having same problem someone please reply

changed code in class.smtp.php

Line 30 to// var $SMTP_PORT = 80;
line 82 to // function Connect($host,$port=80,$tval=30) {

but still gives fsockopen(): unable to connect to smtpout.secureserver.net:25 // where is the 25 still coming from!!

(edit)
okay also edited "class.phpmailer.php" and i think it changed it, but now it hangs during the send process then it tries to download index.php(it is a blank file) just plain weird.. any way see post below for workaround but not a solution to orig problem.

somebody,anybody. 

cannot get smtp to work but php is okay

maybe this helps.
Below are the locations of important Linux binaries:

perl
/usr/bin/perl
php
/usr/bin/php
sendmail
/usr/sbin/sendmail

so the settings for php would simply be:(in global settings:mail)
Mailer: PHP mail function 
Mail From:yourname@yourdomain.com
From Name: yourname
Sendmail Path: /usr/bin/php

i know this does not solve your orig problem but maybe it is an acceptable workaround.

Try this solution

no one yet has a solution for this?

I think it should be 25 not 80, 80 is reserved for http

It's been several months since you guys have posted the questions. I'm having a similar issue. Has anyone found a solution?

I think godaddy has no solution. My site is hosted on their windows server and here is the reply i got from them.

"As we stated previously you are not on a Linux server. You currently have a windows hosting with IIS 7 which supports some php functions but not all of them. If you wish to use php mail functions and joomla php functions please switch your hosting account to a Linux server. Please use the directions we provided to you earlier to change the operating system of your hosting account."

I also have Windows IIS hosting and was finally able to get mine to send email properly. I detailed my solution in this post: viewtopic.php?f=428&t=460480

In the post just before this one, I posted a link to here: http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=428&t=460480

This was a solution that worked for me.
