Starttls: me or them?

863 Views Asked by At

Im running phpfox on my own server and trying to use smtp to send emails. Im setting up windows live domain emails currently waiting for domain ownership whilst waiting i tried with my normal email address [email protected].

When i enter all the information i get the need to send starttls errors.

SMTP Error: Could not authenticate.
SMTP server error: 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first
SMTP Error Message: SMTP -> FROM SERVER:220 BLU0-SMTP126.phx.gbl Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 6.0.3790.4675 ready at Mon, 13 Jan 2014 00:37:24 -0800

SMTP -> ERROR: RSET failed: 530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first

Before i contact the support could the problem be something on the server like a module that needs downloading or activating.

And also if any one has a fix for this that would be greatly appreciated.

I was putting the smtp host down as "smpt.live.com" - when in phpfox it should be written as

ssl://smtp.live.com
