I followed the above instructions as my first step, and it did not work. I’ve done quite a bit of research, including GitHub’s piece on PHPmailer, and it said not to use SSL 465.

“As for what kind to use, the answer is generally simple: Don’t use SSL on port 465, it’s been deprecated since 1998 and is only used by Microsoft products that didn’t get the memo; use TLS on port 587 instead:” — GitHub Wiki

My host is GoDaddy. I checked with them and they tested SMTP on their hosting and it worked fine. What are the next steps?

I’m having the same problem. I feel like I’ve tried everything. Right now the mail program is sending emails to me only, sometimes. It will occasionally send email to one of the two other email addresses I want to send it to, but not all the time. Contact form responses are still getting missed. Here’s the list of what I tried:

–Installed SMTP plugin
–Attempted to send mail via smtp.gmail.com
–Allowed access to unknown apps in my google account settings
–Using Port TLS 587

No dice. Any help please?
