Has anyone found an SMTP email provider that works with SMTPauth for Zen Cart 2.X?

SMTP2Go works.

I am running version 1.58a on my server Linux

I have setup an account SMTP2Go and it works with Outlook ok no issues.

I don't know if I have setup in the email correctly for the SMTP Email Account Mailbox and placed the password in SMTP Email Account Password and not sure what port I should be putting in SMTP Email Mail Server Port I tried this one 2525 but did not work.

Any suggestions would be appreciated on what I should be doing to correct the problem of sending emails out by SMTP2Go

I'm having an issue with SMTP2GO & Zen Cart 2.1.0, PHP 8.3.17

log

[25-Feb-2025 21:35:04 UTC] PHP Notice: Email Error: Could not instantiate mail function.
in /home/lxxxxx/public_html/includes/functions/functions_email.php on line 511

Error in admin

ERROR: Failed sending email to: "Melanie Prough" with subject: "test" SMTP connect() failed. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMail...roubleshooting
Notice: FAILED to send Email to all recipients: XXXXX###################### (0)

I checked with server tech

[root@server ~]# telnet mail.smtp2go.com 587
Trying 172.234.246.156...
Connected to mail.smtp2go.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mail.smtp2go.com ESMTP Exim 4.97.1-S2G Tue, 25 Feb 2025 13:20:49 +0000
I also see that port 587 is not blocked in CSF and also there is no block for SMTP.

I tried ALL of the provided TLS ports as well as the SSL ports to no avail.

I use smtp2go. In my outlook under server i use mail.smtp2go.com port 465 for outgoing email. You should be able to use the same information u used in outlook in the backend of zencart.


server mail.smtp2go.com
port 465
check the box log on using username and password

Zen cart uses a different mailing script, but thank you.

There is a setting in ZC that is very important, but nobody has mentioned it yet...
Configuration::Email::E-Mail Transport Method
By default it is set to PHP, but to connect to an SMTP server with authentication, it should be set to smtpauth.

Yes sorry, is set to SMTP Auth

I'll assume you're working on a client's site - where is it hosted? Any chance it's A2?
