Available Email Drivers
PHP Mail
It will use the php mail() function to Send email.
When you choose the PHP mail function, you are sending email directly from your server. This can cause issues like, email could be marked as spam by the email providers.
SMTP
It will use SMTP to send email. In Email Settings chose SMTP from the Dropdown of Send Email using
| System Email | Default Sender Email |
| SMTP Host | SMTP Host, e.g. mail.example.com |
| SMTP Username | Username, e.g. [email protected] |
| SMTP Password | Enter the SMTP password |
| SMTP Port | The default port your mail server uses, e.g. 25 |
| SMTP Secure | Select the SSL type |
SMTP Common Troubleshooting
SMTP ERROR: Failed to connect to server: Connection timed out (110)
That means, your server can't connect with the SMTP host.
- Check the port you are trying to connect with is not blocked with the Firewall.
- Make sure the host is reachable from your server ip.
- Finally make sure the Mail is enabled in your Server or is not blocked by server security settings.
- If you are using Gmail SMTP, you must first allow application access to your GMAIL address
