Yes, default is TLS.
But you may specify another protocole in the host name : ssl://myhost will work.
This is the code just below line 697 in projector.php.

This is also explian in the online manual.
RTFM 👿

I have tried to setup the field server in the global parameters to ssl://xx.xx.xx.xx, but the mail was not sent, until I fixed this in the file projector.php.

here below the log of sending the email:

Very weird as it works for me and code is really explicit.

It works really fine with ssl://smtp.gmail.com, on port 465.
Are you sure you correctly defined the host with ssl:// (double slash) ?

Hi,

Here attached a screen shot of the global parameters and the log of the send email operation.

Are you sure your login name should contain your domain name ?
When I connect to gmail smtp server I must not provide domain name in the account name.

No this is not mandatory, chaned it but still gettting the same error (smtpserver in the global parameters set to ssl://mail.domain.ma and the file projector.php not changed).

And if you just remove "ssl://" from the host name and change in the code "tls" into "ssl", all works fine ?
Without any other change ?

Indeed, changing in the code 'tls' into 'ssl' works fine.

Could you try to change lines 693 to 702 in /tool/projeqtor.php

  if ($paramMailSmtpUsername and $paramMailSmtpPassword) {                    
    $phpmailer->SMTPAuth = true;                           // Enable SMTP authentication
    $phpmailer->Username = $paramMailSmtpUsername;         // SMTP username
    $phpmailer->Password = $paramMailSmtpPassword;         // SMTP password
    $phpmailer->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
    if (strpos($phpmailer->Host,'://')) {
      $phpmailer->SMTPSecure=substr($phpmailer->Host,0,strpos($phpmailer->Host,'://'));
      $phpmailer->Host=substr($phpmailer->Host,strpos($phpmailer->Host,'://')+3);
    }
  }

with these ones

  if ($paramMailSmtpUsername and $paramMailSmtpPassword) {
debugLog("Authentified connexion with Host='".$phpmailer->Host."'");                    
    $phpmailer->SMTPAuth = true;                           // Enable SMTP authentication
    $phpmailer->Username = $paramMailSmtpUsername;         // SMTP username
    $phpmailer->Password = $paramMailSmtpPassword;         // SMTP password
    $phpmailer->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
    if (strpos($phpmailer->Host,'://')) {
      $phpmailer->SMTPSecure=substr($phpmailer->Host,0,strpos($phpmailer->Host,'://'));
      $phpmailer->Host=substr($phpmailer->Host,strpos($phpmailer->Host,'://')+3);
    }
debugLog("SMTPSecure='".$phpmailer->SMTPSecure."'");
debugLog("Host='".$phpmailer->Host."'");
  }

(3 debug lines added)

Then test again non working configuration and post log result (or send it to me)

Regards.

Hi,

I guess you replaced your real host name with 'xx.xx.xx.xx'
In fact, what you tried will sure not work.
You must set your host to 'ssl://xx.xx.xx.xx'.
Then try again.

Bonjour,
Je me permets de relancer ce topic parce que j'ai aussi un problème d'envoi de courriel.

Ci-dessous la copie du fichier log, mon hébergeur imposant l'utilisation du SSL, j'ai donc mis 465 en port SMTP et...

Est-ce que quelqu'un a une idée de ce qu'il faut faire ?

D'avance merci.

PS : j'ai fait un ping sur le serveur pour vérifier qu'il fonctionne.

PLEASE POST IN ENGLISH !

Looking at shost.ca FAQ, it seems that correct configuration should be :
- server : shost.ca
- port : 587
- protocole : TLS
Also check user/password for authentication.
