PHP mail() function no longer working...
As you can use a mailbox name (accountname+mailbox) and password when relaying via the Plusnet mail servers wouldn't be better to create a new Plusnet mailbox specifically for sending mail rather than using the main account name and password?
Can you use 587?
Thanks for the ideas guys...
Tried the localhost suggestion. Also realised I had the "$mail->IsSMTP()" missing. Neither made a difference.
This is my current test script that doesn't seem to be doing anything different to what I've done before:
The commented bits both work when I try either of them locally with XAMPP but timeout on the plusnet server.
Port 587 with "tls" for gmail also works locally.
No exceptions thrown when uploaded... get a nice little "Message Sent!" message, but nothing received
Even tried just:
which also returns true when uploaded, quite happily, but no mail sent.
Need to return to this with a fresh head I think!!
