The SMTP connection failed to start [localhost:25]
Posted: Fri Apr 11, 2008 5:37 pm
Hi there,
I ve been having no problems with swiftmailer till I discovered today that in one of my websites there is actually an error:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Swift_ConnectionException' with message 'The SMTP connection failed to start [localhost:25]: fsockopen returned Error Number 111 and Error String 'Connection refused'' in /hsphere/local/home/albstream/maasbesa.org/admin/swiftmail/lib/Swift/Connection/SMTP.php:309 Stack trace: #0
The script that generates the above error is the following
I contacted the host (ixwebhosting) and tried to explain them that they were probably blocking port 25. But they replied that it's my computer firewall or probably the ISP which I think is irrelevant since the script is in ixwebhosting connecting to smtp.gmail.com and not on my pc.
Any ideas what the problem could be?
Note: the same script has been working for a while. I know that ixwebhosting had some big maintenance two weeks ago and I wonder if this is a problem on their side ??

Code: Select all

$smtp->setUsername('email@domain.com');
$smtp->setPassword('password');
$swift = new Swift($smtp);
//set message
$mesazhi = new Swift_Message("Contact Form - ".$subject,$comments);
$mesazhi->setReplyTo($email);
if ($swift->send($mesazhi, "recipient@asdf.com",'sender@gmail.com'))
{
$swift->disconnect();
header("location: contact.php?msg=sent");
}
else {
echo "Not Sent!.";
