![]() This module has support for improved bulk-mail performance through SMTP keep-alive connections (if supported by the mail server).This module uses the PHPMailer library itself, and the SMTP Authentication Support module has forked and includes the smtp and mail classes from PHPMailer library.The main differences to the SMTP Authentication Support module are: Comes with detailed configuration instructions for how to use Google Mail as mail server. Today, we saw how our Support Engineers fixed related errors.Adds SMTP support for sending e-mails using the PHPMailer library. In short, improper Drupal 8 SMTP settings such as wrong SMTP server name, wrong port settings, etc. So, we solved the issue by providing a correct SMTP server name in Drupal SMTP server settings.įor example, when customers prefer to use a Google account, then we set up the SMTP server name as. Then, they found that the wrong SMTP server name setting caused the problem with emails. Therefore, our Support Engineers checked the SMTP server settings in Drupal. ![]() Similarly, another customer reported that his mails did not work after configuring the SMTP module in Drupal. Also, the SMTP server fails to send emails with incorrect SMTP server settings. Often, customers may get errors while sending emails due to improper working of the SMTP server. Again, when multiple users complain about connection problems, we review the firewall at the server side and make necessary changes. Therefore, our Support Engineers solved the problem by making necessary changes in the customer’s computer firewall. Thus, we isolated the problem with his network/computer. In this case, only a particular user reported the problem. Here, the possible reasons for this error would be bad port settings either in mail server or due to firewall restrictions in the client’s computer. So, it was clear that PHPMailer was unable to contact the SMTP server defined in the mail server settings. But, when he tried to send emails got an error as SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host. Recently, one of our customers contacted us with a problem related to PHPMailer in Drupal 8. Let’s take a closer look on the reasons for SMTP not working and how our Support Engineers fixed it. At last, we click “Save configuration” to save the changes.Īlthough, the SMTP setup looks pretty straight forward, it may not always work. And, in such cases, we set the SMTP server to Gmail server too.Ħ. When using a Gmail account, we make sure to replace Username and Password with the Gmail account username and password respectively. Email from address – E-mail from name – The name from which you want messages to appear.After that, we fill the SMTP Authentication fields as following, For encrypted connection, use 465 otherwise 25.ĥ. SMTP port – The port on which the SMTP service will connect to.Use encrypted protocol – Set to YES if want to use SSL encryption.SMTP server – The address for your outgoing SMTP server.Next, click the On radio button to turn the module on and enter the SMTP configuration options there.įor instance, to configure mail server settings, we fill the field with the following entry. We find the SMTP Authentication Support module under the MAIL section and click on the Configure option to enable it.Ĥ. Now, we access the Manage -> Extend section. Then, we login to the Drupal 8 administration panel.ģ. ![]() Firstly, we download the SMTP Authentication Support module from to Drupal installation’s modules directory and unzip it.Ģ. This SMTP Authentication Support module becomes a popular choice as it can bypass PHP’s default mail function and can send mails via SSL too.ġ. Let’s take a look on how we configure SMTP settings in Drupal 8. ![]() Unlike Drupal 7, there is no need to configure each theme template for email sending. Also any theme can be configured and setup for sending mails. Today, we’ll see how our Support Engineers fix Drupal SMTP errors.įortunately, Drupal 8 allows to use different back-ends for formatting and sending e-mails by default. That’s why, at Bobcares, we often get requests from our customers to fix Drupal SMTP errors as part of our Server Management Services. However, improper Drupal 8 SMTP settings like wrong port or typo in SMTP server name may lead to the email sending failures. Sending emails via SMTP server reduces the chance of flagging them as spam.Īlso, using it in Drupal websites enhances the success rate of email reaching the destination server. ![]()
