Hi,@ctgraham
Under your suggestion, I saw this thread, to understand some of the SPF and DKIM related information, I test to my state of SPF,
v = spf1 include:spf.sinamail.sina.com.cn - all
, it may be refused to all the domains under the mail, I don’t know why, I modify the code as the thread, but I am using SMTP, patch is still valid, I’m a little overwhelmed, or I need somewhere to add Spf records, add after the need to modify the code
SPF is almost certainly not the issue with your SMTP connection failing. SPF should not allow or prevent the SMTP connection.
Also, configuring SPF is a bit outside of the scope of this forum, you’d be better off checking with your hosting provider for details there.
With those disclaimers, I can say that the SPF record you’ve provided says:
I think your next steps are either:
mail() or SMTPHello,@ctgraham,I want to change the host server,this is configuration:
Does it ok?maybe I should choose Linux
The resources your server needs are going to depend on the expected traffic for your journal or journals, so I can’t really answer that question. I can suggest this: The typically OJS installation does not require many resources, and (for most users) a standard shared hosting plan should work fine. For higher traffic journals or multijournal installations, a mid-tier VPS would be preferred.
I‘m so sorry that I borther you again,now I can support the mail function, but need to use the plugin of sendmail, so I installed the plugin, but still did not solve the problem, the error has always been to refuse to connect, I did not get useful help on the Internet, had to come to you, I hope you can help me.
This is debug.log of sendmail:

These are all related config,please .
Thank you ,ctgraham
Sorry, this is really a server administration question, not an OJS question. We can’t provide much guidance there.
OJS supports either the native PHP mail() function or an SMTP connection. In your description it sounds like you are reconfiguring PHP’s mail() function to use a local install of sendmail. This may work, but it is out of scope for this forum.
I will note that you appear to be using Windows (WAMP) paths in your php.ini sendmail_path, which is commented as “For Unix only”. Again, this may work, but the specifics of this configuration would be better suited to conversation with your hosting provider or another forum.
If so, that’s too bad. Could you please tell me what environment you were using at the time of development? In addition, would you please help me solve the problem of another thread?
It is Statistics haven't changed and load
I’m very sorry for the delay. I need to solve the counting problem in the last few days。
Thank you ,my friend
Contributors’ development environments are pretty varied, but most development and deployments (to my knowledge) are done in a Linux stack with Apache and mysql or mariadb. I don’t have a good sense of how many sites are using PHP mail() vs. SMTP, but certainly both are used in development and production. You can see the breadth of system requirements for 2.4.x here:
@ctgraham,After all this time, in recent months I’ve been trying to figure out what works best for a domestic server, but to no avail.In the way of sending mail, I chose the SMTP function, I considered that SMTP is a protocol of mail, why became email function, or is just the same name, my shallow knowledge causes that I don’t know what’s the relationship between the two.At present, email can only be sent by the person, whose email must be the same as SMTP email configuration in the mailbox. In the process of seeking solutions I encountered the problem of port, our domestic server is no longer allow the user to use port 25, but 465 and other more stringent security port, if I use mail function to send mail,does that make any difference?
Ultimately everything sent from your server is routed through SMTP. Your server likely has a server-to-server SMTP connection, and the PHP mail() function makes use of that. If you do not want to use your server’s SMTP configuration, or if you cannot use your server’s SMTP configuration (via PHP mail()), you can choose to provide alternate SMTP settings in config.inc.php. This allows the OJS application to connect directly to an arbitrary SMTP server, bypassing your server’s configuration.
Thank you very much for the long time help, I have to say it to you. Two months ago, I had solved the email problems .
