    About a week ago I set up WP Mail SMTP and it worked fine. However i just found out it has stopped working and I get the following debugging output:

    There was a problem while sending a test email. Related debugging output is shown below:

    I’m not too tech savy so a little help would go a long way here, cause I’m kinda stuck not knowing where to start and how to fix it.
    Thanks in advance
