[Solved] Not able to setup mail tried both SMTP and MAIL 3.0.3.8

Trying to setup mail but im having issues i tried both SMTP and MAIL, if i use SMTP i just get non functoning website like for example if i send a message via the contact form i just get a blank page when i use mail engine i get the confirmation page saying the email is send but i never receive the email, do i need to setup things on my device where the store is hosted? in order for mail to work?

im using mailhosting by a company and my site is also behind cloudflare



when using mail engine i get this error in mail.log:


for mail i tried -f infront of the email aswel but i get a message in mail.log aswel saying warning -f infront

For Mail as the Mail Engine you will need to ask your host. Not all hosts support the PHP mail function.

For SMTP and the Mail Engine you need to add ssl:// in front of you SMTP Hostname and use port 465. You may also need to increase the timeout. Look in your PHP error log (not the OpenCart one) for errors.

added ssl:// infront and increased timeout this is my php error

The SMTP server does not like the from address. Could be a timeout or if using the contact form, it could be the issue below.
