Somewhat related: I also attempted to register on the support forums at postmansmtp.com, but never received an activation email for my account.

I restored the previous version of Postman from a backup so it is working again for now, but I would like to be able to update the plugin eventually. I’d love to hear any suggestions for fixes. ??

Also, when I use the “send a test email” function, it fails with “Ajax Error” and no further status info. Not sure if helpful, but hopefully this is an additional data point.

Despite inititally claiming otherwise, webhost support eventually admitted they block Port 25. Apologies for the delay in marking this closed.

That was my thought as well, however our web host has claimed they are not blocking port 25. In fact, rather than “connection refused” as posted in the GoDaddy link above, we are simply getting “connection timed out.” I am not sure if that would make a difference.

To my knowledge, the email provider for the mailserver we would like to use does not allow for service on those ports (this is confirmed by the “connectivity test” in the plugin settings).

Unfortunately, no; our webhost is also insisting that they are not the point of failure when the connection times out. We are as of right now still unable to figure out why port 25 is not working.
