Changing SMTP server to 3rd Party provider

[zaratushtra]

Hi @rcgillis,

Thanks for your answer, we are using OJS 3.3.0.7 .

I found the following thread in the forum discussing the same issue. But their solution did not work for me.

Can't setup custom email using sendgrid instead of inbuilt phpmailer?

Hi, can you help me? What was the correct configuration for sendgrid? i have this but it does not work smtp = On smtp_server = smtp.sendgrid.net smtp_port = 587 smtp_auth = tls smtp_username = apikey (do not move) smtp_password = apikey (possible password removed) allow_envelope_sender = On default_envelope_sender = my account force_default_envelope_sender = On force_dmarc_compliant_from = On dmarc_compliant_from_displayname = ‘%n’ time_between_emails = 3600 max_recipients = 10 …

I am getting the following PHP error.

SMTP connect() failed. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting
