So, after spending an hour with GoDaddy support, I’m still at square one in resolving an email issue using godaddy email servers.
I have 3 WordPress web sites hosted on GoDaddy and you would think that it would be easy to configure the “Contact Us” page to send out an email notification of a new feedback message, but no…
I am not going to point to any specific plugin because I tried at least 4 that all come back with the same error:
SMTP ERROR: Failed to connect to server: Connection refused (111)SMTP connect() failed. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting
According to the GoDaddy support people, I should be using the:
relay-hosting.secureserver.net
SMTP-host settings.
So, my question is simple; has anyone successfully sent an email through GoDaddy’s email servers from a WordPress site hosted on GoDaddy servers? All I am trying to do is send a simple “Contact Us” message, not a mass-marketing blast.
Thanks,
Eric
Here is another support page from GoDaddy that says the same thing, it too doesn’t work:
