Question

For some reason CodeIgniter is not connecting to my SMTP server, anyone have any problems surrounding this?

$config['protocol'] = 'smtp';
$config['smtp_host'] = 'smtp.netregistry.com.au';
$config['smtp_port'] = '465';

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Warning

Message: fsockopen(): unable to connect to smtp.netregistry.com.au:465 (php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known)

Filename: libraries/Email.php

Line Number: 1689

Should I be using the SSL or non-SSL port? (I’ve tried both; no dice)

Is there a way of explicitly telling CI to use SSL or not?

Am I doing anything blaringly wrong here?

Thanks

Answer 1

The smtp server was actually incorrect.
