Running a WordPress site hosted on GoDaddy (not my choice) and all emails are timing out. There is no domain-specific email set up, so I’m attempting to use Post SMTP to send emails through a @yahoo email account.
Tests already checked and thing done:
– attempts using both ports 465 and 587.
– yahoo external app password created.
– test emails sent from both a PC and Mac.
– Active fire wall turned off.
– connection on WiFi and from mobile hotspot.
– successfully connected to SMTP port 465 via telnet cmd in terminal.
– SPF record added to domain DNS.
– created an ini.php file and increased max timeout limit to 180.
– wordfence plugin turned off.
– successful test email sent using an smtp checker tool.
Maybe this should be posted in the WordPress sub, so remove if it’s not good here. I’m at a loss what might be the issue. Maybe it’s a plugin conflict but if anyone has a suggestion on what else I can try to get it working, I’d appreciate it. Thanks.
