Hello!

v5.2.3, PHP 5.6.24 (CLI), CPANEL 54 / CentOS 6.7

SMTP is throwing an error:

Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to tcp://mail.jonespub.com:25 (Connection refused) in .../vb/mail/smtp.php on line 181 Warning: Unable to connect to SMTP server in .../vb/mail/smtp.php on line 147

telnet check via commandline from the virtual server seems to be successful.

Any ideas why SMTP is not working?

Thanks!

[SOLVED] This turned out to be a setting in cpanel: WHM --> Tweak Settings --> Mail -->
Restrict outgoing SMTP to root, exim, and mailman (FKA SMTP Tweak)

It was set to on.

google smtp error

by Skyyg Skyg

I checked the solution on the vb forum and it seems to be unsuccessful. I opened openssl and tried to set 587 tsl, 465 ssl, the same error.

SMTP setting problem.

I already bought vBulletin and installed it. I don't see 'New Topic' button in other forums even though I linked this email to my member account.

Anyway, I get this error from SMTP settings....
