Describe the issue or problem
I have newly install OJS 3.4 and configure the SMTP for the email, However the email can be found in the database table emaillog but the email cant be sent out to the users.
I tested my email configuration settings with SMTP test tool online the email sent and received by the user.
Please, May I know if my code is wrong or I should install other tools before the SMTP work from the host? Help me resolve this.
Steps I took leading up to the issue
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Email Settings ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
[email]
; Default method to send emails
; Available options: sendmail, smtp, log, phpmailer
default = sendmail
; Path to the sendmail, -bs argument is for using SMTP protocol
sendmail_path = “/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs”
; Use SMTP for sending mail instead of mail()
smtp = On
; SMTP server settings
smtp_server = smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port = 587
; Enable SMTP authentication
; Supported smtp_auth: ssl, tls (see PHPMailer SMTPSecure)
smtp_auth = tls
smtp_username = Username
smtp_password = Password
; Enable suppressing SSL/TLS peer verification by SMTP transports
; Note: this is not recommended for security reasons
; smtp_suppress_cert_check = On
; Allow envelope sender to be specified
; (may not be possible with some server configurations)
allow_envelope_sender = Off
; Default envelope sender to use if none is specified elsewhere
; default_envelope_sender = my_address@my_host.com
; Force the default envelope sender (if present)
; This is useful if setting up a site-wide no-reply address
; The reply-to field will be set with the reply-to or from address.
; force_default_envelope_sender = Off
; Force a DMARC compliant from header (RFC5322.From)
; If any of your users have email addresses in domains not under your control
; you may need to set this to be compliant with DMARC policies published by
; those 3rd party domains.
; Setting this will move the users address into the reply-to field and the
; from field wil be rewritten with the default_envelope_sender.
; To use this you must set force_default_enveloper_sender = On and
; default_envelope_sender must be set to a valid address in a domain you own.
; force_dmarc_compliant_from = Off
; The display name to use with a DMARC compliant from header
; By default the DMARC compliant from will have an empty name but this can
; be changed by adding a text here.
; You can use ‘%n’ to insert the users name from the original from header
; and ‘%s’ to insert the localized sitename.
; dmarc_compliant_from_displayname = ‘%n via %s’
; If enabled, email addresses must be validated before login is possible.
require_validation = Off
; Maximum number of days before an unvalidated account expires and is deleted
validation_timeout = 14
