So I am trying to setup PHP Mail in Debian Lenny.

I followed this tutorial: http://www.thewireframecommunity.com/node/39 and I've installed ssmtp with aptitude install ssmtp.

My email provider is godaddy so my MX records are: enter image description here

And this is my ssmtp.conf file:

# Config file for sSMTP sendmail
#
# The person who gets all mail for userids < 1000
# Make this empty to disable rewriting.
root=contact@example.com

# The place where the mail goes. The actual machine name is required no
# MX records are consulted. Commonly mailhosts are named mail.domain.com
mailhub=smpt.europe.secureserver.net

# Where will the mail seem to come from?
rewriteDomain=example.com

# The full hostname
hostname=smtp.europe.secureserver.net

# Are users allowed to set their own From: address?
# YES - Allow the user to specify their own From: address
# NO - Use the system generated From: address
FromLineOverride=NO


AuthUser=contact@example.com
AuthPass=PASSWORD
UseSTARTTLS=yes
UseTLS=yes

where example.com is my domain name. I get this error:

# ssmtp: Cannot open smtp.europe.secureserver.net:25

When using an email client I always use smtpout.europe.secureserver.net instead of smtp... but I still get the same error when I try to change the config file.

What I'm I doing wrong?

  • I don't know GoDaddy specifically, but if your SMTP server works with SSL/TLS (not for authentication but for actual mail), then you should define that in your PHP somehow. Right now you're using the non-SSL port 25 for SMTP. – Ynhockey Mar 10 '12 at 19:23
  • Thanks for the suggestion. GoDaddy does not require SSL Auth for outgoing, only incoming. – jQuerybeast Mar 10 '12 at 19:26

I don't know if you just mistyped it into this forum, but your mailhub should be smtp.europe.secureserver.net, not smpt.europe.secureserver.net.

It is possible that your ISP is blocking outbound connections to port 25. Usually port 587 is an alternate.
