Emails (Again) Don't Send

[alblua]

Hello all once again,

I'm quite stumped on this issue, so, I go for everyone's help.

Emails, once again, will not send.

I am 100% sure this is a coding issue. I have a different script on the website that sends an email for validating the account running off phpMailer, sends instantly.

Hosting

Email Server

Presumably, that leaves coding left.

Since I would rather not mess around with the code anymore, is there anyway possible to remove the function and write this one in:

// $email will represent the receiver's email address
// Password is hidden
// $title (if possible) should be the title of the email
// $message (if possible) should be the template set

// Use SMTP
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->Host = 'smtp.zoho.com';
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = 'contact@airtranvirtual.net';
$mail->Password = '----';
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl';
$mail->Port = 465;

$mail->From = 'contact@airtranvirtual.net';
$mail->FromName = 'AirTran Virtual';
$mail->AddAddress($email);

$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Subject = $title;
$mail->Body = $message;
$mail->WordWrap = 50;

if(!$mail->Send()) {
 // Whatever works best
}

It's getting buried, going to bump.

What is your hosting environment?

[alblua]

It is x10 Premium hosting. We do have Remote SMTP enabled, exactly why we upgraded.

The interface is CPanel VPS Optimized 3.

Have you tried using a google account for sending?

[alblua]

Our SMTP isn't managed by Google, and I'm not about to go messing around by screwing up my script in the website for validation (which works perfectly find) and the Zoho SMTP before it starts blurting at me with errors.

Do you think I can take a second try at pulling it all out and inserting my own? What powers the emails anyway in phpVMS?

[mark1million]

Its php mailer standard in php,

We farmed out the mail function to google rather than hosting smtp from the server as its prone to errors and vulnerable to constant attacks.

Just make sure your not black listed as that will get your mail rejected also.

You can check on http://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx

This could be causing your problem,

550-Please turn on SMTP Authentication in your mail client.

Seems all right.

I don't manage my SMTP server, so is there anyway to be able to remove the Google restriction? I'm not sure if it's possible to have one single email go Google whilst the others are powered by Zoho.

Maybe by stating it's Zoho Mail may fix a lot.

There isn't a workaround then?

Bump again.

Mine keeps doing the same thing but it's intermittent. I thought I had found an answer but then the problem happened again. I have since set up a separate airline email, then I exported the pilot table from PHPMyAdmin, I converted it to a vcard and uploaded it to "Mailbird" which is my email client, now I just use that. Not ideal but at least it's more reliable.
