Has anyone been able to connect via SMTP hestia?

RichardReo · July 28, 2021, 2:42pm

I install a mail marketing script and I need to connect via SMTP but I always get connection error I’m crazy looking for hours for the solution and nothing, I have cloudflare set I leave a screenshot as I have it configured.

I put the mail, port, password correctly but it always tells me error.

has anyone managed to use smtp mail successfully with cloudflare?

i also try to configure smtp in wordpress, i don’t want to use php sendmail

I require full connection via smtp

Take a mail client like thunderbird and try it their, send us the error message when something ocures.

I think you have understood what I am asking for, I do not receive e-mails from my web site via smtp.

Then check your exim mainlog, it will probaly show timeouts - mayve your provider is blocking port 25.

Sorry, but how can I check it?

jlguerrero · July 28, 2021, 6:01pm

tail -n 100 /var/log/exim4/mainlog

And look for timeouts.

the truth is that I have checked all the ports are open, but I always get “SMTP timeout after initial connection: Connection timed out”.

If you try to do what exactly? Connect to your server?

Raphael · July 28, 2021, 6:55pm

Is this from your exim mainlog?

RichardReo · July 28, 2021, 7:08pm

yessssssssssssss

RichardReo · July 28, 2021, 7:08pm

the wordpress mail system does not work so I try to connect it by smtp but the mails do not come out.

Raphael · July 28, 2021, 7:13pm

So what now? From mainlog? If yes, your provider is blocking port 25.

Point your MX record to your hostname (assuming that responds when you ping it).

Try removing pop, smtp, imap proxy from your Cloudflare DNS.

When the proxy is set the server IP will change and then smtp will not work.

If you put a proxy in the mail A record, you will not receive the e-mail.

This is because the mail sub domain is used for the MX record.

I have experience with this as I run a hosting company

Tienes que desactivar el proxy ( la nube naranja), de los registros de DNS en cloudflare. Especialmente el de SMTP y los que son de email.

You have to disable the proxy acces (Orange cloud) from DNS at cloudflare for the email DNS records, spacially the SMTP. Then It Will work.

I used MX tools to diagnose my issues I had a year or so ago.

Tools like this

Lo siento por contestar en español, pero lo hago rápidamente desde mi celular (regularmente uso el traductor de google).
Te recomiendo lo siguiente
Desactiva el proxy de todos tus registros DNS en Cloudflare que apunten a tu servidor.
Yo pude configurar Sendgrid siguiendo un tutorial en estos foros (agregaré el enlace más adelante).
En hestia debes configurar el archivo creo se llama “exim.conf.conf”, si sigues uno de los tutoriales qué hay por aquí (sendgrid), probablemente te den un error y el servidor exim4 no se pueda reiniciar (checa el log de exim4).
Revisa si en tu servidor tienes abiertos todos los puertos necesario para el correo SMTP.

Espero que algunos de estos consejos te den una idea o pista del problema qué puedas tener, te compartiré mas adelanta mis apuntes personales que hice para mi mismo (como recordatorio), siento no poder ayudarte más pero todas mis notas las tengo en mi pc.
