    Hi, It looks like the plugin is not being able to connect to the remote SMTP server. Usually that happens when the SMTP port in question is blocked. Please contact your host to make sure that port 587 is open and supports TLS encryption (you should then change it from SSL:465 to TLS:587 in the settings). Disabling allow_url_fopen could also be the reason why it’s not working (but check the SMTP ports first and see if it works).
