Problem with Email Configuration on Opencart

I am using Opencart 2.3.0.2, and have hosted it on Hostinger. I have been trying to configure the hosting site email on Opencart but failed. It only works when the Mail Protocol is set as Mail but not SMTP. I prefer to use SMTP as the problem of sending system emails via Mail is that the email headers will say the email is sent from the website hosting name instead of my actual domain name. However, the following msg is always shown after submitting Contact Form when Mail is choose:

Warning: fsockopen(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known in /home/u729687566/public_html/test/system/library/mail.php on line 167Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to ssl://mx1.hostinger.com :587 (php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known) in /home/u729687566/public_html/test/system/library/mail.php on line 167

Anyone here could help? Below is my setting. Pls kindly advise if anything is wrong.

Mail Protocol: Mail
Mail Parameters: -f xx@XXXXXX.com
SMTP Hostname: ssl://mx1.hostinger.com
SMTP Username: xx@XXXXXX.com
SMTP Password: My password
SMTP Port: 587
SMTP Timeout: 5

Hope that someone here could help!

Try this:
Mail Parameters: xx@XXXXXX.com - remove the -
SMTP Port: 465
SMTP Timeout: 5

Thanks. I at last found out that this is the server which imposes Sender Policy Framework (SPF) that blocks the access. I at last changes to another host, and email problem is well solved.
