If you have an email with a different server, then you will need to setup it up in the local.config file, set the smtp settings to get the emails to go from that.

As you can see in my first post I already did that. My VA is already 4 years old and the settings as used in my first post always worked in our prior software (VAM). Thanks to our emailsystem is working again as well. I do like to mention as well that I have much more confidence in this system then my prior one. Also the people here are very friendly and helpfull.
Thanks to all.
Cheers,
Peter

Thank you, you are a life saver.
Hi Guys, can I re-hash this thread since it’s not too old?
So here’s the problem we have. When use of SMTP in the local_config is off the system sends emails and works as it should BUT when turned on there’s no sending emails anywhere…Nada
the config is right, checked, double checked and triple checked against several different servers (including Gmail) - No dice
As soon as the setting is set to “TRUE” there’s no more emails, transactional or not
Tried the fix in this thread and the different version of PHPMailer - No joy
The Util Class also was also checked.
The problem is that we really need to be able to use SMTP as we will rely to a new email server because our hosting is on a overly aggressive Microsoft spam blocklist and that is creating a ton of issues.
I’m at a loss and don’t know where to look anymore, any thoughts?
PHPVms is Simpilot 5.5.2 running on PHP 5.5

Hi,
Does fastmail not uses port 587 for SSL?
Just my 2 cents.
Cheers,

Thanks for the thought, but nope, it’s 465. Regardless, it doesn’t even work with GMAIL or any other SMTP provider for that matter.
Really don’t know what to try anymore…
