Connection could not be established with host smtp.gmail.com

    I’ve triple checked the settings for the authentication. Everything is correct, yet I receive:

    Connection could not be established with host smtp.gmail.com [Connection timed out #110]

    Strangely, this happens for other similar plugins like WP SMTP, and Easy WP SMTP.

    Any ideas why all of these plugins would fail to connect to smtp.gmail.com? I’ve tried multiple gmail accounts as well, which isn’t the issue. For some reason, it won’t connect.

    Circling back around to this. Turns out port 587 was blocked on my VPS. I had the host open it, and everything works fine.
