This if off topic!

This is an issue regarding managing of your Wordpress installation and mail. However I suggest to use the plug-in Easy SMTP than you need know how manage and configure correctly email.

First of all maybe for send email without errors you need a valid certificate for emails. Is a lot of time that I do not test to send email with an email that use a self signed certificate or STARTTLS.

I was confused and give to you the wrong SMTP plug-in.

You should use SMTP Mailer

Hi,
maybe all is set now but you need change your SSH hostname into your main domain name. This can be the issue of the certificate not accepted.

Issue can be different, hope Webuzo Team will able to help you with that issue.  :xd:   I foghet that in my server my hostname has been changed for be qualified with the certificate.

This is fine but you can try to change your hostname to be the same of the hostname you put on email. this can fix your issue. Just a suggestion before Webuzo will see your ticket tomorrow or in next days. For today working time of Webuzo is almost ended

You are not the only one customer that have issue with email.
I said many time to Webuzo team to improve email by adding Antivirus and Antispam protection. I AM waiting that since 3 years. Maybe (but not sure) I will see in the future email protection, auto responders, etc

Webuzo team in all this time has fixed different issue I reported and that's great! Also in the security they fix. I report and they fix so this is very great.

Your case was:
You asked to be able to use email SMTP in Wordpress. For do that is necessary a valid certificate because now the new PHP is checking the security of the connection.

Webuzo have to see if in the future can use Let's Encrypt for generate and use a valid certificate for email and set all to the maximum securty than user has few step to do... actually as you seen I spent more than a day for configure email in your case and I had not enough time to fix your issue after many hours of work.

Now I informed Webuzo about your case (but you are not the only one that have issue with relay not permitted and SSL on email)

Your Exim is to remove so once in Webuzo should be used the box on top for searching Exim, unistall than reinstall and once done this exim.conf should be customized for use SSL of let's Encrypt.

I had already customized dovecot for use your let's encrypt certificate and also hostname of your server has been changed for have the same name used by emails.

After edit of Exim relay not permitted should be resolved. Now your SSL on email works fine. I configured your email on Thunderbird and was able to send and receive email ... the error "relay not permitted" is present when you try to send an email to an external address and this is the last things to fix for your case. Once this is fixed you will be able to configure the plugin SMTP Mailer.

Finally I suggested this plugin as EasySMTP has gived issues in the past, do not know if now is fixed and SMTP Mailer give logs of what is happening (debug), connection or error info.

Hear you soon. Today Webuzo Team is offline and will be also tomorrow. If you need help I AM here.

Your email relay not permitted error has been solved.
Now there are an issue in your server that I think create issue also when you try to use SMTP in Wordpress.

You need solve the error: 50X error occurred when you open the FileManager.
Maybe this will fix also your SMTP Wordpress issue.

Webuzo Team can help you on fix this error with File Manager.

I had loosed remote connection with you and at the moment seems I AM unable to connect with you again.
When you are trying to connect by SMTP on Wordpress you receved this error :
stream_socket_client(): Failed to enable crypto?

So maybe ask to Webuzo team if this can be related to the error of File Manager or if can be some issue with Socket. Your email are wroking correctly and your PHP file is set correctly to work with your SMTP settings.,.. so maybe you need first solve the server issue than try again and see.

Please update your ticket with Webuzo by explain that Exim issue, mail issue was resolved.
Now issue is in the File Manager. You need fix this issue than try again to use SMTP in your Wordpress once you are able to use the File Manager and Web FTP.

Hi,

Today I can confirm you will be not able to send email by SMTP in Wordpress and different PHP script if you do not use for example comodo positive SSL.

Let's encrypt not work with SMTP email.

Yes, I will try to keep you updated, maybe also Webuzo Team can do the same. At the moment no solution has been found for let's Encrypt but we are discussing in Let's Encrypt Community... I also hope developers who implemented the Let's Encrypt on Webuzo will look into this issue.

Web and Mail configuration maybe are two things separated.

The Let's Encrypt discussion is located here:
https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/lets-encrypt-is-not-working-in-php-for-smtp-mail-in-webuzo-panel/32990/14
and is going on.

At the moment the only fix I know for have SMTP working is to buy a Positive SLL certificate.

mmmm you can try and this should work but PHP has to be configured correctly. You can look at the web for configure your PHP version to use SMTP gmail.

I don't know as I use my domain email and Positive SSL. You have to try, if not work you need google search how configure php 7.1 and gmail.

PHP has changed the way email works from the version 5.6 so you can be unable to send email if the certificate or configuration are not correct. :)

Hi,
I AM sorry to inform you that I cannot manage your server for you.
I will try to post here as soon an update regarding let's Encrypt will be.

Regarding your SMTP issue I can just suggest to you to look into internet as you are the manager of your server. Seems to me that you prefer post here instead on looking for a solution on Google  :P   if you have chosed to manage a server you should try more and more before post here ... to fix common issue by doing a Google search.

I AM happy to help but when I see user are really unable to find a solution also on the Internet.

I AM busy, I have also my server issue to fix and much other things to do :) I AM just an user here who try to help in his free time. I AM happy to see you have started to manage a server, my suggestion is to look more into Google.

Seems you have no idea on how PHP is changing and work... try to read more on the web :) have you searched how to configure PHP 7.1 and SMTP of Google?

Have you tried to configure SMTP Google before posting here again? :)
My suggestion is to try :) you will learn also by you to manage things :)

Now I have to go for today, sorry.
Wish you all the best time!

See you,m asap I have update about let's encrypt issue.  :P

Though an old thread, I will update it for the users who struggle with setting this up.

Advice: Do not ignore it - you Want the SMTP to work.

[SOLUTION]
.. that we use for transactional (system) messages:

Sign up with PostmarkApp (a reasonably paid service)

1) Create Server

2) Now you are in "Message Streams" > Go to "Default Transactional Stream" (3rd in the horizontal list)

3) choose: SMTP

:) here is all you need

Note: Port: 2525 / STARTTLS

All the best,
Helmuts
HostMaria

.. if you get stuck, tag me in here, I will help you with additional screenshots.
