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.

Note: If you are using Gmail SMTP, you must first allow application access to your GMAIL address.
