   Hi!
   I'm trying to get wp-email working and having some difficulty. I get the following error:
   Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to outgoing.verizon.net:25 in /homepages/30/d92633458/htdocs/wp-includes/class-smtp.php on line 105
SMTP -> ERROR: Failed to connect to server: Connection refused (111) Language string failed to load: connect_host

   See for yourself at http://www.dykstranet.com. Click on the "|||" at the bottom of a post.
   I am able to connect to the smtp server with email clients, so I know my server, username and password are correct. Could it be that this feature is disabled in PHP on my server? Here is php info:
   http://dykstranet.com/phpinfo.php
   Any ideas would be appreciated.

   Perhaps it could be. Can you get other e-mails from WP like when comments are made to your blog? You can run phpinfo(); and see if the SMTP server is set.

   Hi,
   Yes, I do get those emails when someone comments. Not sure how to read the settings in phpinfo, but the two entries
   SMTP: localhost
   smtp_port: 25
   look reasonable. See them here: http://dykstranet.com/phpinfo.php
   Anyone care to decipher the error message?
   Thanks in advance for the help!

   Hello
   hmm, i have had the same probelm on a godaddy.com server. I assume you are using phpMailer? In the end I solved it by using a different smtp server.
