OC3.0.3.1 - When the system tries to send an email via SMTP I keep getting error messages that say :
Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Error: DATA not accepted from server!'
'Error: EHLO not accepted from server'
I have checked with InMotion Hosting (the server service provider) and they have confirmed that my SMTP hostname and username are correct. This is a fresh installation of OC 3.0.3.1
Can anybody give me an idea of how to solve this problem please.

Sure. Firstly I forced the port to crash by setting another port number located on the same server. That forced the system to crash and reset itself and then I simply re entered the right smtp port number thereafter. Then as a precaution I also increased the timeout value to give the server enough time to respond just in case that was the cause of the initial system fault.

All works fine now and this obviously resolved ALL the email related errors as well.

I had the same error when trying to set up Amazon SES for outgoing SMTP mail. The solution use tls:// for the hostname and port 587 like this:

Code: Select all

SMTP Hostname: tls://mymailserver.com
SMTP Port: 587
If using SSL then do this (try https:// if ssl:// doesn't work):

Code: Select all

SMTP Hostname: ssl://mymailserver.com
SMTP Port: 465

There is no need to put tls:// in front of your hostname.
tls is a version of ssl and therefore tls:// means nothing.
That is therefore stripped by the smtp class anyway, just the port 587 will suffice.
