SMTP -> ERROR: Failed to connect to server: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: No such host is known. (0)
SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host. Mailer Error: SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host.

Hi All,

I am not sure if this message is in anyway related to Apache. I am sending an email using smtp and I know that port 25 is open and not blocked. Is there any way to send email without using port 25? How do I do that? Do I have to configure anything in php.ini or httpd.conf?

Thanks.

It would help if you could provide the php code you are using for sending the mail. However this related to your script and or php.ini
Do you use a local mail server or remote email server?

Hi,

I used the regular code for sending an SMTP email. I've used PHP Mailer. Whai I dont understand is that even though our network admin allow the port 25 in our organization, I still could not send the email properly. What shall I do? Whenever I'm home, and my ISP run in normal connection, things work out just fine.

What I need it

  • php code snippet helps.
  • Do you use an IP or a hostname for connecting?
  • Does the windows firewall let the connection out from the server apache is running on?
  • PHP Mail is a php class? Somewhere where I can take a look at the code?
  • php.ini mail settings

Your script works fine. So I think a firewall or an antivirus scanner blocks the request or a proxy server.
