    Default Email Error: SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host.

    Hello all,

    I believe that I have done everything in my power to make sure my email settings are correct yet i still get the following error.

    "Email Error: SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host."

    I host my website on Yahoo! and I want to set it up so it sends email.

    I used the following resources to help me

    http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.p...Email_Problems

    e-Start Your Web Store with Zen Cart (pg 72 - 74)

    Is there anything I am missing?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks In Advance,

    ojhernandez

    Have you checked with Yahoo's tech support to confirm that the settings in the wiki still work?

    I did do that. After calling them, I used the correct settings and it still doesn't work.

    To me, I seem to have done everything methodically yet, it doesn't work.

    I bet it's something small yet it keeps irking me.

    Any ideas on where to go from here?

    What version of Zen Cart are you using and are you hosted on Linux/Windows etc?

    Unfortunately, I believe it no longer matters. It turns out that Yahoo! Business Hosting does not support third party SMTP servers.

    Thank you for all your help however. :)
