SMTP connect() failed.

Question

I am getting SMTP connect() failed.
how to fix this

Answer 1

This error message is shown when the system tries to send an email but can't connect to the SMTP server. This can be due to incorrect SMTP settings, firewall restrictions, or server issues. If you're using your hosting SMTP details, double-check them to ensure they're entered correctly.

Answer 2

I have the same problem, and nothing seems to work. I even had my hosting company verify many setting on their end.
