Hello, I moved my site to Winhost recently and have to change my mail from php mail to smtp which is fine. But I am not able to send any mail from my php file. I am getting a success back and being redirected to the thank you page after the mail call. Any help would be greatly appreciated I use outlook as my mail so I have tried both mail.entroids.com and the host and smtp.live.com and getting the same results. Here is the code(changed the password ofcourse) <?php require_once "Mail.php"; //require_once "Mail/mime.php"; function send_email($to, $user_name, $subject, $template_name, $fname) { // common for all landing page emails $from = 'Entroids <[email protected]>'; $mail_to = $user_name . '<' . $to . '>'; //$num = md5(time()); $server_name = $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"]; //$file_name = "http://" . $server_name . '/downloads/' . $fname; $file_name = '/downloads/' . $fname; //$crlf = "\r\n"; $host = "mail.entroids.com"; $username = "[email protected]"; $pass = "mypassword"; $html_message = "<html><body>"; $html_message .= '<table width="900px">'; $html_message .= '<tr style="background-color:#01aebc"><td><a href="http://www.entroids.com"><img src="http://' . $server_name .

Here is the template you requested. Thanks Entroids Team\r\n"; $headers = array ('From' => $from, 'To' => $mail_to, 'Subject' => $subject); echo $html_message; $smtp = Mail::factory('smtp', array('host' => $host, 'auth' => true, 'username' => $username, 'password' => $pass)); //return ($smtp->send($mail_to, $headers, $html_message)); $mail = $smtp->send($mail_to, $headers, $html_message); if ($mail) return $mail; else echo "Mail delivery unsuccessful!!!";
It looks like your domain's MX is pointing to live.com and its hard for us to trace where the mail went. If you are not getting any error from the page, the mail is accepted by the mail server.
Thanks for the reply, I was using php mail() function before with my old hosting server. I cannot use that with Winhost correct? I am not seeing any echo statement I put in this php either.
I was able to download phpmailer and I am using this code now and I am getting 2014-06-02 01:41:18 SMTP ERROR: Failed to connect to server: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. (10061) SMTP connect() failed.
