Email issues with Microsoft Hosted Email Solution

rajkannan

I am unable to send emails using SSL. My email server is MS Exchange Server hosted by Microsoft online solution. It is SMTP enabled SSL connection. When I add an email, I get following error. I am sure the host, port & credentials are correct.

I am getting following error.

Failed to connect to ssl://smtp.mail.apac.microsoftonline.com [SMTP: Failed to connect socket: fsockopen()

Any help would be deeply appreciated.

The error indicates that it could not reach the server, or thinks that it does not exist, or couldn't connect to it. Which would lead me to think that perhaps they are using a non-standard port, or that your machines IP is not one that they accept traffic from. I did some quick googling and came up with the following URL:

This person is reporting the same error for their own custom code.

Out of curiosity in your php.ini do you have a

SMTP=

smtp_port=

set?
