Integrating WP Mail SMTP with Newsletter

Hi,

I’ve successfully installed WP Mail SMTP (https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/) on my site and have sent/received a test email using it. I am using GMail as per this method: https://wpforms.com/how-to-securely-send-wordpress-emails-using-gmail-smtp/

However, I cannot get this and Newsletter integrated. Here are my SMTP settings:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/p6aicmgt8wzqnte/Untitled-1.png?dl=0

the username is my GMail address and the password is my GMail password. What is it I need to do to get Newsletter functional?

I should also say – Newsletter takes about 2 mins to refresh the smtp settings page when I test the email. Also, I get no errors printed to the screen. I just get a blank page which I then need to refresh to get to the settings page. I have WP set to use 128mb memory.

Thanks for any advice!

Kev

Disable the SMTP settings of Newsletter if you user an SMTP plugin, Newsletter will use the latter.

Thanks for the help 🙂

I disabled SMTP in Newsletter and tried a test email from that News letter page and got the following errors:
```
2018-02-28 19:29:32	Connection: opening to :25, timeout=300, options=array (
                   	                  )
2018-02-28 19:29:32	Connection: Failed to connect to server. Error number 2. "Error notice: stream_socket_client(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known
2018-02-28 19:29:32	Connection: Failed to connect to server. Error number 2. "Error notice: stream_socket_client(): unable to connect to :25 (php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known)
2018-02-28 19:29:32	SMTP ERROR: Failed to connect to server: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known (0)
2018-02-28 19:29:32	SMTP connect() failed. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting
```
And on the ‘Status’ page I get this message:

Last test failed with error "SMTP connect() failed. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting".

Sending a test mail from WP Mail SMTP still works fine.

Hi, do not use and make test from the smtp panel. Tests attempt to send even when disabled. Send a test email from the status panel.
