The error says that the connection is refused:
message: "fsockopen(): unable to connect to ssl://mail.bestinx.io:465 (Connection refused)"
Are you sure the settings entered are the right ones - like port, address, ssl? Maybe try using a different port like 587
I tried all of these, SMTP PORTS: 465 (SSL), 25 (non-encrypted), 587 (STARTTLS) but nothing worked.
I’ll check other settings again first.
Then probably something is not well configured on your mail server.
Also you should not be using random settings, just use the values provided by your smtp server provider.
Hi Philip,
I have a question for you.
Are these settings correct? I picked up the configuration details from outlook_noreply.reg from mxroute.
Host: “SMTP Server”
Port:465
Use SSL
User Name: “Account Name”
Password: what I created
They are the settings I use yes. But the one thing I don’t see there is the SMTP server address. For me it was
SMTP Server: blizzard.mxrouting.net
It could have been different for you based on region etc
One other thing you may need to do (not sure if it’s required for this step) is to set up the MX records with your DNS provider/host.
thank you so much! 500 error disappeared now!
And I found out that I didn’t configure TXT and DKIM correctly, it seems fine now. but I haven’t received a test email yet.
by the way, outbound email was empty.
@Teodor
What else could I be setting wrong?
try this…
1- make sure you have a smtp relay server in windows iis, and a connector in office 365
2 - in office 365, go to admin - settings - domains - click on your domain
then make a note (copy) the MX record
([something.com.mail.protection.outlook.com]
this will be use as your smtp server.
use port 25 (make sure you do have it open)
and you dont need any authentication.
simples now this email works like a treat.
have a good weekend
