Here is the config for php_mailer.php

<?php
if (!defined('IN_INDEX')) {
    header('Location: ../index.php');
    exit;
}

/** config for PHPMailer **/
// Please read https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/blob/master/src/PHPMailer.php 
// for further configuration properties
$PHP_MAILER_CONFIG = array(
    'Mailer'        => 'smtp',              // 'smtp', 'mail', 'sendmail' or 'qmail'
    'Port'          => '587',               // well-known ports are 25 (default), 587 (TLS) or 465 (SSL)
    'SMTPSecure'    => 'tls',               // '', 'tls' or 'ssl'
    'ContentType'   => 'text/plain',        // 'text/plain' or 'text/html'
    'Encoding'      => 'quoted-printable',  // '8bit', '7bit', 'binary', 'base64', and 'quoted-printable'
    'CharSet'       => 'utf-8',             // 'iso-8859-1' or 'utf-8'
    'SMTPAuth'      => true,                // true, for SMTP authentication via username/password
    'Host'          => 'smtpout.secureserver.net',      
    'Username'      => '',

Hej,

do you really use the PHPMailer, i.e., do you enable this feature?

I have used a custom script using the same phpmailer and was able to send the email, but the same configuration was not working on the mylittleforum.

Or do I need to enable something from the mylittleforum config to use it?

Hello,

Yes, the option php_mailer should be enabled otherwise PHPs mail() function is used.

Yes its enabled and I have tested it with an custom test script it’s working fine.

Is the problem solved? If so, I will close this issue.

no this is not solved i am able to send email using this code but not the mylittleforum code

elseif ( $_REQUEST['sendmethod'] == "smtp" ) {
        ob_start(); //start capturing output buffer because we want to change output to html

        $mail = new PHPMailer;

        $mail->SMTPDebug = 2;
        $mail->IsSMTP();
        if ( strpos($hostname, 'cpnl') === FALSE ) //if not cPanel
            $mail->Host = 'relay-hosting.secureserver.net';
        else
            $mail->Host = 'localhost';
        $mail->SMTPAuth = false;

        $mail->From = $from;
        $mail->FromName = 'Mailer';
        $mail->AddAddress($toemail);

        $mail->Subject = $subject;
        $mail->Body = $message;

        $mailresult = $mail->Send();
        $mailconversation = nl2br(htmlspecialchars(ob_get_clean())); //captures the output of PHPMailer and htmlizes it
        if ( !$mailresult ) {
            echo 'FAIL: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo . '<br />' . $mailconversation;
        } else {
            echo $mailconversation;
        }
    }

Hello,

I am sorry, but I am not able to reproduce your problem. I have switched to PHPMailer and it works as expected.

2023-11-26 09:25:15 SERVER -> CLIENT: 221 2.0.0 Bye

Maybe you can check the $PHP_MAILER->ErrorInfo, i.e.:

$PHP_MAILER->SMTPDebug = 2; // Log-Level: 1, 2,3 4
echo $PHP_MAILER->ErrorInfo;
exit;
