I’ve just installed 3.2.3 on xampp (running PHP 5.6.14)
and made the following changes in the config file:
define(“PHPMAILERHOST”,‘smtp.domain.com’);
$phpmailer_smtpuser = ‘your_mail_username’;
$phpmailer_smtppassword = ‘your_mail_password’;
define(‘PHPMAILERPORT’,465);
define(“PHPMAILER_SECURE”,‘tls’);
However, the test mail i tried sending failed.
What other changes must I make?

With “SMTPDebug = 4”, I resent the test message. What does the following error message mean?

I guess that the port you are trying to use is being blocked. Can you try using an unencrypted connection?
