   I am trying to make newsletter plugins work on my website (hosted externally by a hosting company: netfirms).
   I have error messages when I am testing the email sending:
   

   fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to

   1) Is this strictly a problem with the hosting company?
   2) If yes, is there something to ask them?

   Thanks!

   Did you get a resolution here?

   I have a feeling tht the only wayto solve this is for your host to allow the fsockopen function. It seems that hosts are turning this off as they see if as a vulnerability.

   I have the same problem now and am looking for a solution. There arer other alternative options to fsockopen such as cURL but i don't know how to implement that.

   If anyone know please post here.
