Error notice: stream_socket_client()

  • Hello,

    I’ve been attempting to get this plugin working for a few days now. Everything on the Google side of things has been set up. I have an SSL certificate installed on my site & it’s fully secured. I’ve checked with my host & the ports SSL:465 & TLS:587 are open. MX Records are properly setup, pointing to the Gmail SMTP server as verified by them & my host. I’ve talked with Google & they gave me options to try, none of which worked, as did my host with the same results. My site can’t go live until email is properly working. I’ve tried this on WP:4.7.2 & 4.8. 

    Connection: opening to ssl://smtp.gmail.com:465, timeout=300, options=array ()
Connection: Failed to connect to server. Error number 2. "Error notice: stream_socket_client(): unable to connect to ssl://smtp.gmail.com:465 (Network is unreachable)
SMTP ERROR: Failed to connect to server: Network is unreachable (101)
SMTP connect() failed. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting

    Thank you for any help you can provide.

    Hi, Gmail recommends TLS connection on port 587 (SSL is old). The info looks good. But the debug data clearly states that the it’s not even being able to connect to the remote SMTP server. Are you sure the ports are actually open (Web hosts like GoDaddy always say it’s open when they are not)? Who is your hosting provider?

    Hello, thank you for responding!

    I receive the same result with SSL & TLS (port 587). I’ve been using Webspace Publishing as they’re a good friend. I’ve asked & have been told the ports are open, also checked with a few online tools. It’s quite confusing because each party says it should be working fine. I’ve ended up skipping Gmail integration for now. I’ll talk to my host again to see if they have any more input on the ports.

    Thank you.

    I am getting an almost identical error message:

    Connection: opening to smtp.gmail.com:587, timeout=300, options=array ( ‘ssl’ => array ( ‘verify_peer’ => false, ‘verify_peer_name’ => false, ‘allow_self_signed’ => true, ),)
    Connection: Failed to connect to server. Error number 2. “Error notice: stream_socket_client(): unable to connect to smtp.gmail.com:587 (Network is unreachable)
    SMTP ERROR: Failed to connect to server: Network is unreachable (101)
    SMTP connect() failed. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting

    I have used https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ to verify ports 587 and 465 are open. I’ve tried both and both produce the same error message.
