Hi mates, i am facing to a SMTP problem. I am trying to send a mail from moodle using SMTP server. The problem is that i tried with all of it and it's impossible to get it. I tried:
- Custom SMTP, and not working.
- Gmaill SMTP, not working.
- Php mail, its working.
Also I verify telnet through SSH, and it's gettin a response. Anyone can help me? My version is 3.5.
Hi guys,
Sanjay respect to two factors, i test a wamp server without that two factor and it works. It was too simply puting smtp config and testing with the email Test plugin. But I don't understand why from my vps is not working.
Visvanath I answer to your doubts:
> I am trying to send a mail from moodleHow exactly? Do you mean forum posts not going out as e-mail? Or (Moodle) messages not sent as e-mail? Or something else?
>>>> I tried with the email test plugin from my moodle, because from the chat neither was working. Then I decided to use the plugin.
The problem is that I have a moodle server at sered, but i bought a VPs server with Centos7 and I installed moodle on my own. All was working except that point (at this moment).
> using SMTP server.Moodle always needs a SMTP server to sent e-mails out.
>>>> I mean with an own SMTP server (smtp.example.online) or I also tried with smtp.google.com. Both with the ports.
> The problem is that i tried with all of it and it's impossible to get it. I tried:You don't need "all of it" (what are they?) just one way is enough. Let's take the first one:
>>>>> I mean that I tried all configurations that i know.
- Google 
Doesn't work.
- Own SMTP: The same but with the other SMTP. Doesn't work.
-I tried with the php sendermail default (without any data in outgoing mail): This works, but i want with my "own smtp", not with php sender. Works
When the email test doesn't work the log is:

I was looking for a solution on internet, and I can't get any one.
I have SSL with letsencrypt through whm configuration.
> - Custom SMTP, and not working.What is custom SMTP? Do you mean running a "Sendmail" on your localhost? Could you describe in more details how you configured, how you tested sending mails and how "not working" looks like?> Also I verify telnet through SSH, and it's gettin a response."telnet through SSH"? Why do you need telnet if you have SSH? Do you mean you run 'telnet localhost 25' in an SSH terminal?
>>>>> Yes, write in a SSh terminal the command "telnet mail.****.*** 25" and it connects.
Thx for your answers.
