The SMTP connection failed to start

[Dadash Ali]

Hi

I see many people have or had problem with SMTP configuration. Let me say that i can send email with same SMTP config that i used same in Prestashop email configuration (for sample) via Mozilla thunderbird but i got that famous error message in Prestashop "The SMTP connection failed to start [smtp.xxx.com:587]: fsockopen returned Error Number 110 and Error String 'Connection timed out

In that situation this could be hosting probelms while i can send email with same settings via Mozilla Thunderbird?

 

I so a common solution that many people point at that to resolve the matter : but it does not solved mine My Prestashop version is 1.6.0.9

 

In /tools/swift/Swift/Message.php line #79

Change

$this->setFrom("");

To

$this->setFrom("[email protected]");

 

In /tools/swift/Swift.php after line 370

if (!($has_reply_to = $message->getReplyTo())) $message->setReplyTo($from);

Add the following code:

if (!$has_reply_to[0])

$message->setReplyTo($from->getAddress());

 

Now try sending a contact message....

 

If it still doesn’t work, make the following change:

In /tools/swift/Swift/Plugin/MailSend.php line # 159

Add

$params = "";

 

Please help me to solve the matter if you have any idea!
