Unable to send using SMTP server

Recommended Posts

Folks,

I have seen others had this issue or similar. We are trying to use SMTP With SSL or SMTP with TLS. All the fields are populated properly and 465 is used for SSL and 587 is used for TLS. However this is what happens ... Can someone point to this code in CC? Store is 6.1.12 and php version is 7.2.30. 

Error message for SSL... from maillog ..

postfix/smtpd[24655]: connect from localhost.localdomain[::1]
postfix/smtpd[24655]: lost connection after CONNECT from localhost.localdomain[::1]
postfix/smtpd[24655]: disconnect from localhost.localdomain[::1]

 

Error message for TLS .. from maillog

postfix/smtpd[24747]: connect from localhost.localdomain[::1]
postfix/smtpd[24747]: lost connection after STARTTLS from localhost.localdomain[::1]
postfix/smtpd[24747]: disconnect from localhost.localdomain[::1]

From the Pop-Up window on Cubecart ...

CLIENT -> SERVER: STARTTLS
SERVER -> CLIENT: 220 2.0.0 Ready to start TLS
SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host.
CLIENT -> SERVER: QUIT
SERVER -> CLIENT: 
SMTP ERROR: QUIT command failed: 
SMTP connect() failed. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting

FYI, Sending mail as PHP() Mail Function works properly.

What's the 'maillog'?

With CC6.1.12, I think using the Test button required saving the settings first. (Admin, Store Settings, Advanced tab, Test button)

I am using PHP 7.4 to connect to GMail's SMTP server:

I am seeing Internet search results of complaints that PHPMailer has problems with PHP 7.4 built with an older version of the PCRE library:

Hello BSmither,

We are saving everytime to test. The PCRE library from PHP Info is 10.32. So it also seems to be the latest. 

If we can see the code thats making the call, we can try to add some debug see why the connection is closed after the server says Hello.

That would be in the PHPMailer library in /classes/PHPMailer/. The actual error message is generated in (for the version of PHPMailer shipped with CC6112) class.phpmailer.php near line 1678. This is generated if TLS fails from a function at class.smtp.php, public function startTLS().

For CC6112, you will start looking at /classes/ajax.class.php, public static function SMTPTest(). This sets SMTPDebug = 2. You may want to change this to 4, which gets you a much more verbose output.

In CubeCart, all mail functions are handled by PHPMailer (in the /classes/ folder).

When PHPMailer is told to use PHP's mail() functions, PHPMailer will query PHP's INI settings (php.ini file), where info about what application is available and how to structure the commands sent to that application are located. See:

https://www.php.net/manual/en/mail.configuration.php#ini.sendmail-path
