I already read about the email setting in this forum, and implemented it, but still i can't get it work, the error is "SMTP connect() failed.", my email settings are:

SMTP server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
SMTP server port: 465
SMTP server username: ***********@yahoo.com
SMTP server password: ********
Sender (email address): ***********@yahoo.com
Recipient (email address): ***********@yahoo.com
Security: SSL

Also have been trying to change the port to 587 with Security TLS adn port 25 with Security blank, still not work.

Kindly help and advise.

Regards,
Luki

Basically, "SMTP connect() failed." error is caused by invalid SMTP setting.

If you have a domain account for your website, then try to use its SMTP setting from its cPanel. Usually I always use this SMTP setting and always working properly.

I also have tried using the IP of exchange server email domain with its user and password also security SSL/TLS, but still not work.

Any advise if there is any free email that its SMTP can work fine with phpmaker email setting?
